Re: Coming Soon! A certain deviouslectual will support George Yeo in this forum......
PM LHL mind is like dictator.
He must consult me how to speak in front of the voter to get their vote. They way he speak not going to help him.
From my point of view only Tharman did a great job.
Tharman is actually very poor. He speaks well but he cannot hide the vile policies of the PAPzis when faced against a knowledgeable opponent. He will lose easily when faced against someone like Leong Sze Han or Tan Jay See or even CSM.
Tharman's assertion that the lower income doesn't pay taxes is totally ridiculous! Every dollar paid by the lower income group over and above the true cost of building a flat + the land cost, at acquisition, is indeed a tax. And there are billions upon billions of such money paid by the lower income that has gone directly into the Reserves. Tharman can deny as much as he wants but he cannot deny that a sizeable chunk of the Reserves includes housing payment from the lower income.
Tharman's other assertions on how the GST has helped the poor was also very poor and the statistics he provided lacked facts and figures and when taken at face-value are actually really ridiculous. In fact they are just as ridiculous as his assertions that the lower income group does not pay any taxes other than GST.
It's a shame that the Alternative Parties did not send someone with more financial and economic knowledge to meet up with Tharman for the TV debate. Tharman would have sweated his balls off if he faced an opponent of quality because Tharman is supporting PAPzis policies and we all know how PAPzi policies are skewed towards the benefit of the government and the rich.
