Re: I'm confused...
I think Gideon is mendacious. Look at his record. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to create a low wage economy and then wonder, shock/horror, why tax revenues are decreasing. That's basic adding up, init?
I think the end game is:
- Government still gets the taxes it's so addicted to, for its ideological vanity projects
- While providing minimum or no services, for those taxes.
Think fist world taxes, third world public hospitals, bad infrastructure* and really scary riot police (just like Brazil).
