Good move, but tax wireline too

Posted on November 7, 2007  /  5 Comments

Strange is the day I come out in support of taxes; and today is very strange.   But please read this in context:  we wish the 10% tax had not been imposed on mobiles; but there was absolutely no reason to tax mobile while exempting fixed; that is why I support the extension of the tax to fixed CDMA.   But for some reason the government seems to have difficulty in doing anything right the first time.   Why, for God’s sake protect fixed wireline?   These are most privileged people in the country.
