Rand plays the bribery game just like the others.
14.5% income tax rate. Has to be balanced by huge tax rises by other means. Maybe 20 VAT and up to 30% on luxury goods. Or high fuel, tobacco, alcohol, land taxes. Whatever the cuts they will resort in more debt.
Cutting Government size is a great soundbite and stupid. Cut it where?
Social Security will increase crime and the need to pay for more police and prison. This will also happen if Government jobs are cut. Food subsidies will mean higher prices in the shops. Not going to war and cutting defence will save money, but will also cause unemployment. Overall it will produce a profit.
Not enough to balance the budget or reduce borrowing.
And there's the problem for all of us. We can't live this lifestyle without borrowing to fund it. The borrowed money flows into the economy and into our pockets.
It trickles down.
