What the hell is happening to our economy????

Morons are taxing wealth instead of income. The indirect taxes have gone up while the direct taxes have been reduced! The very opposite of what the pm said he would do. Well done boys.

Our investments ruined. Underworld playing havoc. Good governance, law and order not as promised. Oh and most importantly, Tamils are still waiting their political solution.Thank you yahapalanya.

Misadventures of yahapalana, during MR period it was not so bad. Yahapalana was brought to rectify the shortcomings. From bad to worse now.

We just replaced a corrupt government with an ignorant government.

No budget, no law and order, no justice for the crooks, overcrowded cabinet, bloated public sector cost. What do you expect?
