Tax hikes creates endless cycle of debt
Taxes, Economy, Sri Lanka & the Endless Cycle of Debt
Sri Lanka has decided to increase the Value Added Tax (VAT), this time by 3%, from 15% to 18%. Against this backdrop, it's worth listening to this clip from the hit TV show "The West Wing".
This is Senator Arnold Vinick, a fictional U.S. Senator, during a presidential debate, explaining how the West urges countries like ours to raise taxes to generate more revenue to repay the loans we've taken, resulting in countries like ours being trapped in an endless cycle of debt.
Isn't this what Sri Lanka is doing right now?

A rare sight in Sri Lanka: Bambalapitiya waterspout 🌪️
Waterspouts, eerie columns of rotating air and water mist that form over water, were spotted in Bambalapitiya, Sri Lanka yesterday. This is a rare occurrence in Sri Lanka.
Waterspouts can be as weak as a gentle breeze or as powerful as a tornado. While most waterspouts are harmless, some can produce strong winds and heavy rain. If you see a waterspout, it is important to stay away.

Remember Her? Her name is Kayleigh Fraser. Her Visa has been cancelled & asked to leave the country by the 15th of this Month!

⭕️ There are a lot of tourists who violate (non-criminal) visa policies, they get fined or the matter is handled discreetly, not to cause bad optics.
⭕️ What happened to her was little to do with her visa conditions, it's political payback by the ruling class for expressing her views in support of the #Aragalaya.

Imagine all those sacrifices of #Aragalaya end up bringing him to power to implement a system change. 🥹
