Mr Politics - Bridging the Federal Deficit

Mr. Politics is really glad to hear that the government is continuing to lower the price of fuel despite them being able to make more money from the higher price. I understand that there is no need to subsidize our fuel and the government is still able to make a profit albeit a lower one. However, in times of financial turmoil and uncertainty, we have to do our part to help our government reduce our deficit. I am inspired by an article in The Star today that says "Taxi drivers will be allowed to do side business to help their income like selling mineral water or pre-paid phone cards in the cab". So you get a mini-convenience store thing going on in the cab. Well, I am inspired and I say, let's do our part. I thought of some ideas that I think can help.

1) Pass a tax for the super rich. If you earn more than let's say our annual GDP and is unable to show how you earned it and you don't want to go to jail, you are required to pay a tax of 40% of your annual income.

2) A RM20million Roman numeral tax on movies. So for example, Rambo IV will cost cinema folks RM80million in total. This will also reduce unnecessary movie sequel. It's a win-win.

3) A education related letter tax of RM50K for people who want to display their education certs a the end of their names. So Long John Wienerbaker PhD, MBA, BA, BSc, will pay RM550K a year for this usage.

4) A tax on smokers of RM1K for every pack they buy and another fine of RM100K for smoking in a non-smoking zone.

5) The Federal government should be bribed or bribe others directly so that we can take out the middlemen. Therefore, bribes will be less paid out and more paid in.

6) Rent our Nuri, submarines and Navy frigate out for cruises and parties.

7) Sent people to mug Singapore.

8) Take over the piracy business from the syndicates

9) Sell Perlis to Thailand

10) Charge Singapore for Jay-Walking lessons

11) Get the Malay people to start paying taxes and loans they took from the govt. Failure to do so, will result in running electric current through certain genitals!

12) A RM50Million Tax on any politician who start sprouting date of the change in government, elections, etc.

13) An additional RM1Million Tax for every mentioned politician that is supposed to switch party.

14) A RM5million tax a year on Samy Vellu for year he insists on clinging to power.

I can think of many more but I would like to hear from you. So pls post your ideas in the comments column and show our patriotic spirit in helping our government who has seemed to lost itself under all that cash stashed for themselves. Let's hear from you out there.
