Dear Friend of the IRR,
Did you know that over 20 cents of every
rand you pay in tax goes to the government's debt?
Despite this, the government continues to waste your money
on corruption, expensive BEE deals, and unnecessary spending
like overseas travel and VIP protection.
It does not have to be this way.
Your tax money should be spent on fixing water leaks and
building roads, not government debt and blue light brigades.
The fourth paper in our #WhatSACanBe series, Public Finance:
Revitalise Investment, Create Jobs, outlines the policy changes
the GNU needs to make to pay down its debt and spend your tax money wisely.
The GNU is under immense pressure to deliver significant wins over the next 100
days and win back the trust of South Africans. Government officials are looking
for ideas, and we've developed our #WhatSACanBe papers to guide them in the
right direction.
