........Taxes...........!

Post by Amethyst »

Cant park on the streets in my neighborhood tonight, for the simple reason that my tax dollars will be at work, with these huge trucks coming through to sweep, and wash away the remains of ole' man Winter. Even so, I'm pretty happy to be able to wake up to my block being squeaky clean! :shock: :up:

Now, I know most of us complain about the amount they deduct on our paychecks each pay-period, or what not, but doesn't the fact u can rest assured knowing that, that pothole is gonna be filled, and the sewage and garbage be taken care of, totally worth it? Its like a way to make everyone accountable to care for things that everyone enjoy! I cannot wait til our own country implements this system! :|

Speaking of which, How did taxes work in Somalia, back in the day? Was "Canshuur" required of everyone (i.e individuals) or was it just businesses/rich people? Was it taken yearly, or on a monthly basis? In percentages or fixed amounts? Finally, how plausible do ya'll think that we'll ever be able to implement such system? I mean no taxation without representation and all :roll: ! Good news is that Functioning Regional governments such as Puntland and Somaliland have already begun with stricter requirements. I'm sure in the future it'll be easier to have a central government be able to over see these regional governments books and to take it from there! :up:

Somalis don't want government because they don't want to pay taxes.

For its easier to shoot and loot, and to take advantage of the lawlessness? No wonder foreigners find us a hot-spot to dump their toxins. :shock:

Anyway, enough already, with all the greed and savagery! I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind paying their fair shares if they got things in return. We just need to find a way to put these things in place for the best possible outcomes. :idea:

Tax in Somalia?

I think they need to concentrate on getting enough people living above the absolute poverty line before they can even discuss taxes.
But when they do...they should definitely start with the Robin hood approach to taxation ...starting with their overpaid presidents!

Where do u live...that you get your potholes filled? I need to move there...the roads in London are full of potholes, and I'm sure there's a deal between the govt and garages :evil:
