Rhetoric Question

Why do people who vote for the incumbents, start crying out about the GST hike to 7%?

Firstly its funny because it makes them look stupid, literally. Then it get offsets by melancholy because farts like me who thought otherwise along with every other dumbos feel the brunt of it at the recieving end.

And please stop comparing our low taxes as compared to other countries. They have a much higher wage to offset the huge taxes, they have minimum wage laws. Land, cars are cheap and they have unemployment benefits plus a huge natural resource to toy with, not to mention their very own domestic production.

Singapore is just different, way different.
