blank cheque.
i am willing to pay more gst so long as
1. the full amount of increase goes to help those in need.
2. None of it goes to pap favorite spending defense, reserves and increase. in stat boards, GLCs spendings...scholarship for foreigners...etc
3. Money earned from expired land leases goes from reserves back to budget since land is returned to govt.

without (3) the citizens are subjected to continuous onerous burden of higher taxes when they already paid high price in rental, housing and overall elevated costs due to high rental/ cost of land. This has created massive inequality in our society and should be stopped.
pap often claims it wants to build inclusive society and reduce inequalities but inequality keeps going up in singapore,
i see no honest effort from them.
what i suggest can be done to benefit citizens. will they do it? answer is no as present setup gives them control of a lot of money. in the end it is just greed.
