Rw will experience a worst send off than GR for sure. He is protecting the corrupt and no pension cut for parliamenterians and cut down of free fuel but trying his level best to squeeze the general public who are already struggling and trying to survive.

All should pay TAX equally. Doctors are making huge money. They did MBBS free of charge using tax Payers money

Why don't you include, President, Cabinet Ministers, Prime Minister, MPS and all our tax eaters ?

You need to check to see if everyone reported their earnings to inland revenue when children are admitted to schools and when people go to renew their IDs, drivers licenses and passports. Without an enforcement mechanism, this goes no where

Ranil is making a collective political suicide with this and he may need to add university academics as well as they get more salary than some of these people .

The issue is not about payment of taxes. But how these tax money is robbed systematically by these politicians.

We have overwhelmed laws in our country but only fractional of our people who abide them which are honest.

What about three wheeler owners. Don’t they rob the public and tourists as and when possible. Don’t they earn more than Rs. 3000 income per day on an average.

What truly matters is the tax collected should be spent on people who are in need, investing in improving their livelihood for the long term and creating more job opportunities.
