[LIVE 5:30PM 🕠] 'Not true that GST hike hurts poor': Lawrence Wong in Budget round-up speech

[boredom2012]

He is not rich for sure. Father was a salesman and mother a school teacher at Haig Boys. Went to TK tech then VJ I think. About as working class sinkie as it gets.

Before gst you meant. He never live a life as a poor after gst implemented. How he know it does not affect the poor? As working class, sure or not. Working in government sector as top executive.

Higher GST then the poor getting more handouts means they are wealthier!

1 house hold if multiple ppl stay is just 1 voucher.

At some point, LW starts to sound like your child coming to you asking for more pocket money. Then give reason like need to buy computer or textbook. But actually he buying Pokemon cards too much and other weird spending.

 

[coern]

as long as the benefits to the low-income from GST vouchers/offset program are larger than the GST that they are charged, his statement is true.

GST is charged based on expenditure - given that they are low income, their expenditure (and thus GST paid) is also "capped"...

 

[Discarded]

I know. Raising GST and price is to help the poor.

[coern]

GST is applied to all ma, you mean the rich are exempt frm GST meh? If anything, they will pay the most on per pax basis, because they spend the most...

Then does gst hurt the rich??

progressive wage model is calling your name...

security guard minimum of $3,530 monthly frm yr 2028... whoaaaaaa

What hurts the poor is wages not keeping up with inflation. So does gst help inflation

 

[Prime 13]

He compare raise gst to raise personal income tax and property tax and argue it ish not tenable.
But did he also compare with increase corporate tax?
