"content": "One other thing that is hotly debated is the high taxation. The Government is not a business enterprise. Governments get their resources and money for development and expenditure from taxes. I believe there has been much hue and cry that taxes are going up. It is a global issue. Taxes are becoming high. There is recession all over the world. It is just like labour pains. I can compare it to labour pains. I am the fourth born of my mother. If mothers said labour pains are excruciating and saw no need for procreating anymore, I would not have been born and be the man who I am today in this House. It is just as simple as that. It is painful to raise taxes and also painful to pay taxes. I believe we have to bear with this and make sure that this country can, at least, collect the resources it so requires to make sure that we can have money for expenditure and development."
