Totally agree.
 
Yeah well nothing is going to change then. It will still be the hardworking taxpayer footing the bill for their disgrace of a government as well as taking care of the slackers and bullshitters they create.

Yeah my dad pays 43% tax already on his salary. I use to pay 10% while working. But how would they feel if we took almost half of their salary's away.

Yeah the consequences of this is that no bank would loan you that extra to pay the tax. And of course many other things.
 
there are currently a number of schools in our city where the kids just play outside the entire day as the school has no funding to pay for teachers to take those classes. The eastern Cape dept. of Education has collapsed irreversibly under corruption.
