An interesting read –
it should brighten your day…not!
Taxes and Open Road Toll Fees
People should not install the transponders but still
use the highways and force the government to issue
accounts and summonses to all motorists until such
time they drop the prices. The government will be
forced to send out millions of accounts every month
and they don't have the man power to do it. This is
the best and easiest way to boycott the system. What
is the government going to do about motorists from
other neighbouring countries that don't have these
transponders?
South Africans are too complacent and its time we
fight back. WE have paid for these roads. Now they
are also proposing a 1% tax to fund SABC. If two
people are working in one house hold how much is it
going to cost?? Where is it going to stop?
Circulate this to all your friends!!!!!!!!
Has anyone thought just how much tax we are already
paying?
a. 35% on your salary
b.14% on everything you buy (bar fresh produce) and
services rendered.
c. Carbon tax if you buy a new car (besides the 14%
VAT you have to pay)
d. Tax on the fuel you put in your car to run it.
e. Toll on our roads – and for some it is going to
come to a whopper of 10% of your salary (If you earn
R10 000.00 a R1 000 would go toward tolling if you
migrate between PTA and JHB every day.) – Bully to
try and pacify me with the idea that I can claim it
back from my income tax!!! I have to fork out the
money first. Going on holiday to DBN? Remember to
save up your R1000.00 for tolling.
To say the least – For every R10.00 you earn, the
government is already taking approx R6.00 and still
they want more. Are you happy with the R4.00 you are
getting?
NICE!!!!!
When are we going to get up and do something about
it? Where is all the money going to? It is
definitely not being spent on what it should be –
our hospitals are in a state of disrepair, our
schools in shambles, our roads full of potholes, our
water contaminated, sewers not working, left in the
dark because Eskom failed to do their upgrades, the
poor are poorer still, municipalities on the brink
of collapse, and so the list goes on.
Heard about the youth day celebration that cost R100
million? Mmmm... did you pay for it?
Oh yes sir/madam you did! R100 million that could
have paid for a couple of things our country needed
more.
And to put the numbers in perspective:
The next time you hear an SA politician use the word
'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether
you wanted the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax
money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but
one advertising agency did a good job of putting
that figure into some perspective in one of its
press releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on
two feet.
E. A billion Rand ago was only 27 hours and 12
minutes at the rate our SA government is spending
it.

stayed home to raise the kids.
