C, Z7 s7 W7 Q0 RThey qualify for HOS and PRH public housing units because, as students, they still have no income; they can come back for free health care and later in life retire here and get the public to pick up the bill. And, of course,non-resident holders of the right of abode can sit across the border and use our educational and other services every day- for free. & e1 a$ m- j$ B! }; t( f) E( K t M- Z" t
This nonsensical stamp duty discrimination highlights just how wrong the Government is when it adjudges the right of abode to be the basis for receiving free public sector goods and services, irrespective of the ordinary residency of the people claiming the benefit. .

Secondly,and more importantly, what the random stamp duty initiative undoubtedly does do is send a message to all around the world that policy in Hong Kong in relation to assets, their price levels and investment overall will in future be subject to ad hoc Government measures, as and when they see fit. Will they put a capital gains tax on stock transactions if the Hang Seng Index soars? 6 k0 K* f, l" t7 htvb now,tvbnow,bttvbos.tvboxnow.com1 I$ W! e1 u+ }5 x2 Y, y+ `
And then, finally, when it comes to the punitive taxation of property transactions,reducing liquidity in the major domestic asset market, and one that is used for funding all sorts of economic activities and which is a key component of household balance-sheets, is simply not smart. .

In reality, C.Y. Leung just needs to do one or two simple things as a start: give the people of Hong Kong a break and start to solve a few issues with clear structural reforms,and stand back. How about for a start giving public housing away to its occupants and making sure that only those who have been ordinarily resident for seven years can get on the public sector gravy train. / Z6 [ _8 s# N- J5 J, A u/ E.
