I hate morons who complain about GST.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re familiar with the GST that was introduced in Maldives in the recent years. It’s one thing that you have to pay a huge amount for whatever you purchase, no thanks to our economic depression, but you also have to pay extra to the government because they just love to financially suck you dry, right? But god forbid, you’re not one of those people who disapprove of it, because if you do, then I hate you.

I’ve seen a lot of people whine about GST ever since it was introduced; conspiring that it was some kind of strategy executed by the government for the sole purpose of starving us citizens. However, the major societal problems lie in the fact that citizens refuse to trust the government in every matter. We should question our authority, but to what extent? If we want the country to run smoothly, we have to set our differences aside sometimes and not be a pain in the ass for once.  

Nobody likes having more taken than what they bargained for, I get that, but as citizens we ought to understand that taxes are mandatory whether we like it or not. Our government is in a whole lot of debt in case you morons haven’t realized, which means that we are in a whole lot of debt.  You cannot draw a line in the sand and keep the government on the other side, because we’re a democratic country, which means that we are the government. People seem to forget that quite often while they hypocritically preach about democracy.

Healthcare and schooling are pretty much free these days, so you don’t get to whine about GST. The government has to pay for the salaries of doctors and your medical bill, so you don’t get to whine about GST. The government has to pay the salaries of teacher and administrators so your kid would at least get a public school education, so no princess, you don’t get to whine about GST.

I’m no heiress, but when you think about it, the GST amount is not even that much. We feel that it’s a lot because Maldivians are the most ungrateful, spoiled people to ever walk on Earth.
