Today the Government suddenly put a stop to the consultation of GST. Ha, this is interesting. I wonder why......even if it really encountered intense adverse comments from the public, the consultation can still continue. Why do they stop it so abruptly? Many people understand that......political reasons, of course.
To me, I think GST is viable, but the system need to accomodate the demand of the poor. Daily necessities such as food and grocery items should be exempted so that daily life of people won't be affected. The leverage of the tax may focus on luxury goods, clothing or high-end electronics in the first stage. This can shut the month of those opponents who always use the poor as their king cards to win support and popularity blindly, while overseeing problems in the society.
The reasons and justifications put up by the Government are also ridiculous and in no way convincing. No doubt it gained no support in the society. The lack of good policy and thorough proposal made the GST destinied for failure. So where comes the money? Who knows. This is another proof that our Chief Executive is not doing anything for the good of HK, but only for the good of his own future. I don't like him.

Sometimes it is hard to say GST is a good thing or not.
And it's rare to hear about people who are supporting the GST proposal. In my personal view, GST is a good way to spit out the rich and the poor. But I do support the proposal as it would be a sigh of civilization. People have the right to enjoy the richness of the soceity, they do have same responsilibity to protect the interest of it. In regards of the problem of society disbursement, not sure if I got it right, the government must promise their people they will do something in the future on behalf of the people, not just for the rich.
Bad language. :P
