TAXES vs "BROWN PAPERBAG MONEY"

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Lets Talk About Taxes Vs. "Brown PaperBag Money"...
So, i was online the other day filling my tax returns. Yes! i said online. No more murderous queues for days on end *E-government. that's was-sup!*
I discovered 'Mr. Tax Collector', you deducted my taxes in excess of Ksh.375! I am MOST certain, not the only citizen! All the excess put together would amount to Millions of Shillings.
We the Citizens are paying hefty taxes, with little to show for...blah blah blah
Give to 'Cesear' what belongs to 'Cesear'...blah blah blah.
Yo! 'Cesear' if you are reading this, YOU ARE PUTTING A CHOKE ON US!
Teachers Strike..Nurses Strike .. Doctors Strike.. Civil Servants Strike.. endless strikes.
'Mr. Tax Collector' when are the citizens ever going to get our monies worth??
You fancy it up with words like 'Value Added"??! Really? 'Mr. Tax Collector' what value is it adding to our pockets? Prices escalate, making basic commodities too darn expensive for the common Mwananchi. Perhaps "Value Added" means turning basic commodities into luxuries. Right?
--- We are raising a generation of 'Brown Paperbag Money'-- Am talking about that KRA-can't-tax- money.
Citizens will be doing business and earning income from other sources without declaring Tax.
That's the real deal Mr. Tax Collector.. think about it for a minute.
Am just saying!
