Corrupt ANC and the Laffer Curve

Economist Arthur Laffer in 1974 formulated an economic theory, stating that an optimal tax rate exists that maximizes revenue without hindering economic growth.
Lowering high tax rates can stimulate economic activity and potentially increase total tax revenue.
Many economists believe that South Africa long ago passed the optimal point on the Laffer Curve,

Current High Tax Rates are:
- suppressing economic activity,
- stifling job creation,
- limiting home ownership,
- encouraging tax emigration and
- most important, preventing substantial private capital investment.
South Africa needs lower taxes, both nationally and locally.
The relentless punishment of hard work, frugality and saving will only stop if we vote for lower taxes.
The depraved ANC is responsible for punitive taxes at national level and the collectivist DA in Cape Town is hell-bent on nailing home owners at local level.
This unhealthy mix is not smart. Not sustainable.
What is Needed?
- Lower company, dividend and personal income taxes.
- Increase the primary rebate to R 300 000, meaning those who earn R 300k per year and less do not pay income tax.
- Scrap red tape and unnecessary government regulations.
- Reduce property rates and taxes by at least 15%.
- Privatize the SA economy.
- Private education, healthcare, rail, ports, energy generation, transport.
- Allow all home expenses, including bond finance and insurance cost, salaries and wages of gardeners and domestic workers, cost of security installations and monitoring fees, the entire monthly local authority utility bill and cost of maintenance and repairs AS INCOME TAX DEDUCTIBLE in the hands of the home owner.
Dump high tax loving career politicians and collectivists.
Vote for those who are willing to leave much more of your hard earned income in your pocket.
The STATE and the sad profusion of lying socialists/ collectivists have failed all South Africans.
Vote for freedom.
