1% tax for SABC 'a sin'

03 November 2009, 09:07 - Anonymous

Dear Editor,

Here we go again. Yet another state owned agency / department is mismanaged into a huge financial crisis, and yet again the working class is going to be forced to cough up and rescue the idiots from their own stupidity.

This idea that the working class MUST always be taxed for everything and everyone is making me sick. We must do nothing. It is even worse when we are forced to pay for someone else's deliberate stupidity and self-enrichment.

Let us do some maths. Currently a TV licence is around R240 per annum.

I earn R300 000 per year. This means that my TV licence will now increase to R3 000 per annum! Wow, that is nice... so our friends running the SABC can earn bigger bonuses and enrich themselves even more.

My last thought - it is one thing if you tax me for food, water and basic services essential to the survival of the poor. But to tax me for entertainment? Come on, surely everyone can see this is an unacceptable idea.

Let us all stand together and boycott these fools.

Okay people, enough of the marching, sneering, looting, freeloading and violence. We can now play this a number of ways and either create a new country or tear this one apart. Read more...
