When will the economically ignorant LTA commissioners realize that corporations do not and cannot pay taxes?? Only people can and do. (Re "We Were Affected the Most-Liberians speak on Impact of Surcharges... )
In economics, you have to distinguish between whom a tax (surcharge) affects in the name--of corporations--and who actually bears the costs and burdens of it--in this case, it's the Liberian consumers!
But our LTA looters, oops, I mean LTA Commissioners, are economically ignorant people. So, somebody needs to educate them! Please allow me the honor to do so:
Memo to LTA Looters: Corporations (GSM Companies) do not and cannot pay taxes. Only people can pay taxes. So, if you imposed a surcharge (tax) on a corporation, the money that they forward to you (to steal and squander), comes from the corporation's employees, customers or stockholders.
So, next time, just remember this: Whenever you imposed a surcharge (Tax) on GSM Companies or any private company, you are really imposing a tax on the Liberian people. But hey, when will you stop stealing from the poor Liberian people?? You people (LTA) are nothing but a criminal enterprise!!!
