Rants & Raves from A Disgruntled Citizen..

Bah.. Why does the Budget not benefit me?! Again?! The so-called Budget for "every Singapore Citizen".. Am I not a Singapore Citizen, being eligible for a pink IC since birth and holding one since 6 yrs ago. Wad's more, this male citizen here is waiting faithfully for his enlistment for NS. WTF. Call that for EVERY SINGAPORE CITIZEN?!

I'm baffled why the Budget always exclude people under 21. Don't they contribute to the country and society at all to deserve such benefits? I'm sure they do. Countless youngsters work since 16 or even younger. Though their primary objective is to earn pocket money, don't they help to drive the economy some way or other? Now, tell me, how many Singaporean adult out there who work but their primary target is not to earn a living?! HA HA.

Well, the past Budgets which had the ERS and NSS.. Yeah.. The Budget included EVERY Singaporean, in the sense that GST increase, nobody can escape that.. Not even a 2 yr-old toddler waddling to a provision shop to buy a 10-cent candy can escape from it. But he'd need to fast forward his life 19 yrs in order to get the extra 2% of tax he paid for back in the package which was said to be enough to cover Singaporeans for the next 5 yrs.. -.-" Poor kiddo.. and me..

I find it appalling why is this so that only those above 21 should be included. Probably give the 16s or 18s and above some bonuses as well, probably in smaller amounts.. Isn't that a even more balanced Budget? Oh, I forgot. Only adults aged 21 and above vote.
