But why are they unemployed? Because the african national thieves have stolen all the money that should have build up the infrastructure for businesses to prosper - plus the corruption of the so-called bee that just channels money to the thieves.

I am considering leaving South Africa, I'm a diligent taxpayer but I'm beginning to see I'm not wanted because of BEE...( WHICH IS JUST LEGAL THEFT) As a jewellery business one of the requirements to get my fine metals permit is I have to comply with BEE rules..they are basically saying "if you want to continue to trade, get a black partner or we don't give you a license to buy raw gold."..this is blackmail. I have to jump through hoops and give away half of my business that I started to some black person who did nothing. This is unacceptable. The majority of taxpayers are white and the government has successfully "chased whites into the ocean" not physically but with the power of the pen. No wonder we are running out of taxpayers.

[@BloodHawk31]

@@pauljansen6650 good comeback, perhaps I should have been more precise in my comment. If you take all tax into consideration, we pay most likely close to 70% of our income to the government, especially if you drink and smoke and have a medium low income, the curve is smaller the more your income because of a semi-static spending on some goods like food, though rich people may spend more on luxury items, expenditure is not directly proportional to income, you can't eat thrice as much if your income tripled. But my comment was mainly focussed on income taxes, not fuel taxes or sin taxes or VAT. I'd consider those the minor taxes where income tax is the major tax, this is where majority of our income goes to, especially for higher earning individuals, who in my opinion. But a alternative scenario occurs where the financially stable are going off grid, so they won't care what happens.

The EFF has already shown in brilliant fashion that it can be done in the last local election in Gauteng - they threw their lot in with the opposition in order to VOTE OUT THE ANC! So, please do not sit back and grumble - get busy telling all people you know to get over the emotional baggage and do what is now this country's only realistic hope: Everyone who is not voting for the ANC MUST vote for the current opposition party.

Vote ANC vote for corruption

[@frikrabie5371]

THE SOLUTION The ANC doesn't fulfill its constitutional obligations. The ANC is far worse than just a "poor" government, it CHOOSES to break down and to destroy. That is why this action is warranted and needed. Most importantly the ANC incites hatred/violence against us when they say that we stole their land - I checked, we didn't. It is not reasonable to expect law abiding tax payers to continue with "the winner takes all principle" of a democracy to their own and the country's demise. Who says we HAVE to be part of this political dispensation? Nobody questions this. It is time to stop, think and QUESTION this. Nothing and nobody have the right to force us to be part of this self destructive political dispensation. Approach the courts - convince them that it would be in the best interest of the country as a whole if we control our own taxes (first goal). Justify our rejection of the current political dispensation (main goal). Alternatively we can just use the constitutional court as a platform where we inform the ANC and public of our decision to control our money and effectively start our own government. Give reasons and evidence for our decision. DIE OPLOSSING? Die enigste praktiese oplossing is om ons eie belasting (persoonlike, besigheids en brandstofheffings), munisipale fooie en betalings vir elektrisiteit self te beheer. (Our money under our control). Deur dit te doen kan ons die land feitlik oornag omdraai. Maar is dit haalbaar, hoe gaan ons dit reg kry? Ons het nie n keuse nie, ons moet dit doen. My voorstel is om die stelsel te verander deur n hofsaak in die konstitusionele hof. Dit is dalk net n beginpunt. Ons is GEREGTIG om die land om te draai. As dit is wat nodig is om die land om te draai (en dit is) dan moet die hof ons toelaat om ons belasting ens. te beheer. Dis tog ook vir die beswil v.d. land as n geheel. Hoekom nie? Die ANC het NIE DIE REG om ons te weerhou om die land om te draai nie. Dis die kruks van die beoogde saak in die konstitusionele hof. Indien die hof nie onomwonde in ons guns beslis nie wat heel moontlik is kan dit nog steeds susksesvol wees want dan het miljoene Blankes, Bruin en Indiers gehoor dat hulle GEREGTIG is om te doen wat die beste is vir hulle en SA as n geheel. Op die oomblik dink nie een van hulle so daaraan nie. Niks of niemand het die reg om ons te dwing om in n selfvernietigende politieke bedeling te bly nie ook nie die konstitusionele hof nie. So n hofsaak sal ook die besef tuisbring. Die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel - regsaksie teen die ANC As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie kan daar mos nie grondonteiening sonder vergoeding wees nie. Dis dan die rede waarom die ANC en EFF vra vir onteiening sonder vergoeding. Ons het grond by die Zoeloekoning gekoop. Daar was ander gevalle ook gewees, tewens Bennie van Zyl v.d. TLU se vir my dat daar 25 traktate was tussen die Voortrekkers en Swart stamme vir die koop van grond. Die Voortrekkers is bes moontlik die enigste groep mense in die geskiedenis wat nie grond met geweld af geneem het nie maar gekoop het! Die V.O.C. het ook maar hulle was nie n nasie nie. Die TLU het al in 2019 vir Ramaphosa gese dat hy en die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel. Die TLU het ook al R100 000 aan gebied vir enige iemand wat kan bewys dat ons die grond gesteel het maar niemand het nie. Ek het n ou onderhoud op KZbin van John Vorster gesien (Firing line with William F. Buckley) net voor die '74 verkiesing waar hy sê dat die regering reeds in 1936 besluit het om 7.25 miljoen morge grond te koop en as ADDISIONELE grond te gee aan die tuislande. Tydens die onderhoud het hy gese dat daar reeds 7 miljoen morge gekoop was van Wit mense en dat dit al reeds aan die tuislande oorhandig was. As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie en ons betwis nie eens die ANC en EFF se leuen nie is ons sekerlik die grootste idiote in die geskiedenis! Kom ons vat die ANC hof toe. ANC waar is jou gedetaileerde lys van grond wat gesteel was? Ons kan grondonteiening sonder vergoeding nek om draai eens en vir altyd met so n hofsaak. Omdat ons nie vir die ANC en EFF se hulle lieg oor die grond nie dink almal al klaar dat ons die grond gesteel het. Deur ons stilswye kondoneer ons die leuenaars se leuen. Ons kan dit nie in hierdie geweldadige land bekostig nie. Hoeveel plaas aanvalle en haat is nie al deur hierdie leuen veroorsaak nie en hoeveel nog? Bennie van Zyl se vir my so n hofsaak sal omtrent R5m kos saam met litigasie want die ANC sal definitief apelleer. Die TLU het nie die fondse hiervoor nie. Om as n regering dit jou doelwit te maak om mense se grond by hulle te steel gebaseer op jou eie gefabriseerde leuen. Om mense se grond by hulle af te vat is gelykstaande aan n oorlogsverklaring. Die ANC breek die land ekonomies af as ook die samelewing, tewens die ANC hits rassehaat aan teen die Blankes as die sê ons het die grond gesteel. Hoe kan daar verwag word van ons om verder ons belasting te gee aan die ANC en belangriker om deur die ANC regeer te word? Wat sal n groep redelike persone doen onder hierdie omstandighede? Of eerder waarop is n minderheidsgroep in ons omstandighede GEREGTIG? Dit is eintlik die saak wat ek wil begin. Blankes sal baie meer as R5m gee vir hulle vryheid. Ek dink nie mense besef dit nie maar dit (die ANC se leuen oor die grond) kan DIE REDE wees wat n hof (insluitend die Wereldhof en VN) se uitspraak in ons guns swaai as ons besluit om ons self te distansieer van die huidige politieke bedeling. Bruin en Indier wil ook onder die ANC uit kom, ons staan nie alleen nie. Dis nie net n Swart en Wit kwessie nie. Dit gaan oor waardes, breek jy af of bou jy. Blankes bou, ons kan nie langer onder die afbrekende ANC regering aan gaan nie. Die ANC is DIE REDE vir die verval v.d. land. Daar is honderde indien nie duisende bewyse hiervoor wat in die konstitusionel hof voor gele kan word. Hoe kan ons hierdie saak verloor? Om Swartes titel regte te gee vir die grond waarop hulle bly in die ou tuislande sal die grootste welvaart skepping ooit in die land tot gevolg he. Hoe is dit moontlik dat die ANC en EFF nooit daaraan gedink het nie!? Die huidige stelsel waar grondeienaarskap onmoontlik is, is juis DIE REDE (histories en huidiglik) vir Swart armoede, Swart verstedeliking en plakkerskampe. Die ANC se hy is Swartes se "Liberator" maar hy lieg. Die ANC is Swartes se "Opressor".

Good but not great analysis.

A very clear recipe for financial disaster.

Such a system has been proposed before and is a form of qualified franchise. Nobody can coherently argue such a system, in the same vein that nobody can argue that major shareholders get more say in companies than minor shareholders, the latter still getting a vote but effectively less say. Politicians who try to argue these logical systems end up stuttering and looking silly. A more-palatable modification of the proposed tax-vote system is that even those who pay zero tax still get *one vote* by reason of their living as a valid citizen and nothing more. The problem, as already said, is corrupted politicians are as common as house flies and they are unfortunately incumbent and will be determined that such a system is never even on the discussion agenda. I'm not saying it can't work or be successfully promoted, but the world is an extremely evil place; a place where common sense is often determinedly marginalised.

ALL citizens of a country cede personal freedoms for governmental rule. It is not about what you give to a government that dictates your right to have a say, but what government takes in terms of individual sovreignty. What you are espousing leads to a government run by corporations, with even less accountability than a government like the ANC. Think about it, and do a bit of research, maybe you can change your own mind

[@jimmycricket5366]

@@JayJay-qu5oo How do corporations end up abusing a very basic qualified franchise voting system based on tax contributions? Corporations pay tax, however they don't get to vote. Pretty simple.

@@jimmycricket5366 because imo they will get lobbied and collusion will take place especially if the ones that's have more voting power are the same ones with the money... It feels like that system will just breed more greed.

I’m so proud that S A is doing so well with paying pensions and assisting with child care. Anyone paying a lot of tax is getting a lot of money, but sadly we always want more. Show me any other country that does far better than we do regarding taxation and caring for our people,, naturally excluding China snd Russia. The rest including Western countries tax just as much if not more and also struggle to make ends meet socially. 🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@emilesteyn9483]

Stop taxes completely. Privatize everything, and only have regulators on capping companies for them not the have monopolies or oligarchies - e.g. once a company provides efficient services to 50% of the market share, make it mandatory for them to give/refer business to smaller competition.

[@gustabeumer688]

You are so correct, there will be no taxpayers left. Maybe electricians who are doing the substations and eskom lines, who are working day after day. But than we will not be able to pay for electricity because everybody will be without work.

[@travelradiocoza]

Not according to SARS and Mr. Kieswetter. He thinks that we are not losing people, and in fact, we are better off now with more aggressive ways to get tax out of remaining taxpayers.

[@willemivo1]

Roodt just pointed out the well know fact that SA is a vastly unequal country where a tiny minority owns the majority of assets. A situation purposely created by the Apartheid regime and thereafter negotiated to persist under the formerly socialist ANC. If anything, a natural outcome of the free market ideology that is incorporated in the Free Market Foundation’s name. Now I’m not saying the ANC is doing a good job at governing the country, but what would a free market ideology change or improve on this fact, if not worsen it, ie what is your point, Roodt? Ideally the tax base would widen because it would represent a growing middle class, but in an entirely free market environment with weak government, the actuality of a vast class of survivalist small businesses and a handful of franchises/big businesses is the result. Or is FMF trying to point out that government is not doing enough to support small businesses to become medium and then big business? But that’s not very Free Market-like?

[@DebzZi]

Government has hindered economic growth and investment at every opportunity. And they've destroyed education & virtually every other state function by employing people not qualified to do the job & allowing corruption to run rampant. The rot is deep and blaming only the apartheid legacy has become too easy a scapegoat that diverts responsibility from poor leadership & the failed policies of the ruling elite. Communism has never made everyone equally rich but has certainly contributed to those outside the elite circle being equally poor.

[@cherylmarais5888]

Government can’t support small business. They don’t have the money. If every street vendor has to pay tax on what he earns. If every domestic worker ( casual or full time) has to pay tax on what they earn. If every taxi owner had to pay tax on what they earn …. Then yes it would not be much but everyone is then paying tax that has some sort of an income. Many people don’t pay tax. Either because they don’t earn enough or they found a way around it. But the few that still pay taxes can’t support the masses. Where are the black businessmen? Why are they not building factories and employing people. Why are they not supporting industries to grow and then they can employ more people. Why are they not up in arms about load shedding that has seen many businesses close and thus more people are without work. Just my thoughts on this 🤔

Problem with Fuel Levy is its percentage based, where in the world do they have such nonsense, should be flat rate , so you avoid our current predicament, when you have oil price surges, and production issues.. these guys are making money hand over fist right now... they need to scrap both vat and greater portionof levies for certain industries in times like these...if nothing else, scrap the hundreds of billions of eskoms debt that is just vat alone.. not to mention linke to questionable bloated contracts
