Jackass seh de worl' no level. Jackass seh we a get jook wid taxes an' not even realise it.

So the gas tax went on yesterday and Jamaica did not get locked down, come to a standstill, get nailed up tighter than a sardine tin, and all those wonderfully ineffective things that some people have done in the past to disguise their raw criminality as civic action.

King Alarm and Hawkeye

Hooray for Jamaica! In fact, hooray for the middle class, cause it is always those poor suckers in their nine to five jobs who pay the brunt of the taxes anyway and are worst affected when the riots are on. Is anybody going up to the real exclusive areas to burn and loot? Hell no! They know that King Alarm and Hawkeye would give them something to protest about (hmm or their relatives, if you follow Jackass' reasoning).

But Jackass read something in the newspaper (Yeah. If Jackass can write he must can read. Duh! Didn't you know JAMAL means Jackass Advanced Material Advocating Literacy?) around the man o' yard's presentation that really made him see red. He read that out of a sample of 500 doctors, 400 were found to be not paying their income taxes.

No star! Dis no right! De worl' no level at tall, tall, tall! Nuh doctor make the most money roun' ere? Nuh doctor charge yu couple Joshua fi tell yu seh yuh need fi tek Panadol? So how comes so many are not paying their taxes, leaving that burden up to the rest of us (Jackass included)?

No I! We all know that doctors give jook, as in injections, and they hurt. But never in Jackass' life did he dream that while they were jooking people with medication they were also jooking them royally with the tax stuff.

fork over the cash!

Now, the people who collect taxes must be joking. Every doctor has an office, with set opening hours. If they are serious about collecting, all they have to do is forward and piyaka to said office and demand that they fork over the cash! Duh!

OK, so there is a process, but nobody can tell Jackass that out of these hundreds of doctors they can't start with one? Just one of the jokers?

And who is paying them money? People who are in a PAYE set-up and have absolutely no way of escaping taxes. So when they go to a non-tax-paying doctor's office and get an injection they get a triple jook: the needle, the taxes they have to pay, and the burden they have to bear from the doctor who is not paying.

Hmm. All things considered, they are getting a deal: three jook for the price of one.

Jackass seh de worl' no level. Jackass seh de way da one ya hot im im not even a go a dakta no more!
