These guys are already in the Guyanese 1%. The allowances are very generous. Greed is a crazy thing.
Clearly these guys were making lots of cash when they were in the opposition, and feel taht they must be compensated to support their lavish lifestyles.
They have told the population that they will get this money, one way or the other, either by being paid, or stealing.
Problem is I am already hearing rumors that one has to "pay" to get an audience with some of these guys.
I would like to see someone leak their income tax filings from previous years to see "how much they made."
Yesterday it was reported that the government plans to table a bill that permits commercial banks to share info on clients' accounts with the Guyana Revenue Agency once the request is lawful. I suppose the reasoning behind that bill is: If GRA notices that a businessman or doctor or lawyer pays a trifle amount of tax but has a heavy bank account, GRA can prosecute for tax evasion.
What about politicians?
