Message | "Poor are not interested in luxury goods. They are interested in survival. Reduce tax to food, clothing or other first necessity stuff." Actually these taxes are already reduced to 0 % ! Income taxes are down as well so these people should have some savings by now to buy some luxury, don't you think ? |
