Heck, the government is trying to get businesses to install some blasted cash registers so that businesses will turn over to the government all of the taxes that they charge people, and businesses are shooting themselves in the foot by calling for strikes.
Imagine what would happen if the government tried to impose this: riots, burning tires, and who knows what else.
The idea will work for the folks who shop at Agora Mall, but it will never fly with the majority of the population.
(And I am not knocking Agora Mall, as I love to go there for the food court.)[/QUOTE]
Puryear,
You have it exactly backwards. It is government that is shooting itself in the foot by extorting businesses and soon the population for excessive taxes. Where does this tax money goe pray tell ??
-corrurption, salaries, for bloated government - i.e.theft
- social services ?? - I dont think so.
The only hope for a place like the DR is that there is thriving small and medium size business sector - and the idiot politicians and bureacrats seem intent on tryng to kill them off before they can get going.
