800,000 baskets x $31.25 USD = $25Million USD or $1 Billion RD-

That's real money folks that could go toward paying down those deficits-

But instead let's raise taxes on everything and give out some gift baskets for fun!

Crazy nutty times we live in that just don't make any sense-No Common Sense anywhere-

Good Luck with those higher taxes starting Jan 1st ITBIS and now Food items as well with a graduated scale from 8% to 16% over the next 4 years.

Paying down deficits does NOT win votes.

speaking of the itbis, i know that it will rise to 18 percent come jan but i had read that at the same time the 10 percent svc charge was going to be elimminated--have not seen anything else on the subject. does anyone know for sure one way or the other?

Not sure if that 10% propina will be eliminated from bills in restaurants-etc. Does anyone have the list of items that will be taxed? There was several threads with links to the items that will be taxed starting at 8% in a few weeks and now I can't find those threads on the forums.

What you read in the "Papers" has no bearing on reality!
"Danilo" told all government agencies to get ready to, "Tighten Your Belts!!!"
The budget for 2013 has big increases for ALL Government agencies.
The "External Debt Service", ($$$$ Owed to international lenders) is 30% of the DR's budget for 2013.
The "Internal Debt Service" (Money owed to Banco Reservas, and other DR Sources) is 12%.
That's 42% of the DR's budget just to pay what they owe creditors.
Danilo must think he's "OBAMA" and his "Gang-Of-Thieves", read "Democrats", or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
History shows no country that has been able to,"Tax It's self into prosperity!"
Maybe the DR, and the USA will be the first??????????????????
I Kinda Phucking Doubt IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
