2 N. w1 U2 m7 G# x記住,當政府不能做聖誕老人讓全港市民普天同慶,任何針對性扶貧措施都不能避免隱性稅歧視低收入勞動階級的問題。至於100%的綜援隱性稅,更是規定綜援戶只准打一種工,這種工叫義工。簡單的負入息稅才是造成經濟浪費及階級歧視較少的扶貧方法。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& |1 c3 M: C- q {; g; `

It is another thing to have free immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both. If you have a welfare state, if you have a state in which every resident is promises a certain minimal level of income, or a minimum level of subsistence,regardless of whether he works or not, produces it or not. Then it really is an impossible thing."TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。1 \. K+ f9 m$ o0 w4 l
