Hello you, the Tax-payer!
Yes, you the payer of taxes in Lebanon... Have you ever asked yourself where those taxes go to? I mean, everywhere I go I see bad roads, holes everywhere, hospital bills so expensive people are dying, prices rising and taxes becoming ever more present!
So I ask, where are the taxes going?
Are they going into the pockets of certain people through their shadow corporations that take government contracts that are supposed to be open to public bidding wars but instead just quickly given to the official's nephew's best-friend's girlfriend's dog's registered company in the Bahamas? Or something along those lines...
I make no accusations, I make observations on what the Lebanese people are commenting on.
I relay a message I hear every so often...
I bring up this issue because I just got some samples for my business and I was taxed on them... REALLY?!
I do not mind paying the taxes, but when I leave my front door, I do not see where it is all being used. Is it being used for the people?
Other than a few roads being fixed every once in a while (and I mean a LONG while) I don't see much being done...
So tell me Lebanon, the Government of Lebanon to be exact, what are you doing with our hard earned tax money?
I wonder...
