you see the problem with middle class is that they think everything revolves around them, one misconception is the tax, they think that payee is the only tax, they forget vat, import, local council permits are also taxes.

Nothing is good for the lower class, the hospitals are crap, the free schooling is crap, the subsidized fertilizer is also crap since the bulk goes to the long distance middle class remote control farmers.

Now in the state of feeling special, the middle class went ahead and converted some public schools to be exclusive to their club, of course with the government paying for the teachers, that was reversed.

You see the middle class is like sossion and his gang, thinking that they are the reason the world goes round, they flood the few private hospitals meant for the rich, cause long queues as cashier struggle to confirm with their insurance companies whether they have exhausted their cover, or have to keep verifying their finger prints...

cars that sell for less than 750k are going to be hit the hardest, going by the current 20% excise duty these class of cars pay excise duty of between 57k - 80k, with the impending law the figure will shoot to 200k large, the cars here are vitz, demio na kadhalika

the next class are those that sell for between 800k - 1.2m these cars pay excise of between 85k - 140k, with the new law this will go up to 200k, cars here include axio, fielder, impreza (1.6) premio, allion etc

cars that sell for between 1.5m - 2.3m currently attract excise of between 150k - 180k, with the new law it will be 200k these ones will not feel the pinch too much, cars here include benz c180, passat, jetta, some foresters etc

cars that sell for more than 2.5m attract excise duty of 190k - >200k the effect here will be marginal increase and savings in cases where excise is >200k, cars include 4x4s benz etc

all the above is based on 7yr old newly imported used cars, the real gainers are going to be the guys who operate the locally used car market with units that sell for less than 700k

Future headlines "Thriving car yards shut down during the jubilee adminstration". Media will have field day on this one in 1 or 2 years kwanza when they compare with the kibaki days

All those are luxuries including the juice and bottled water, you see they will never touch vat. I bet the demand for the cars won't go down, a guy who can afford 1m can afford an extra 100k for his luxury.

"Tribal cocoons" .Don't you think it's so annoying when some gammament fool does some shitty stuff about his or her job then when they get busted they rush to their gishagi and call a galamoro ( meeting ) and tell his tribal cocoons that " kabila yetu inataka kumalizwa" .when I hear that people say this I usually feel like vomiting.
"Our tribe is being targeting " I hate this statement
