With the removal of taxes on financial services I have already saved GHS3.50 a month. You just multiply this by 12 months a year and by the next 16 years of the Nana/Bawumia rule. By the time you amortize the results you will really know that Nana is putting money in our pockets.

The two are not that terribly different. It is just a question of semantics. They both agree on how the NPP will run this budget. If revenues are cut and the Akufo Addp-Bawumia Administration has vowed not to borrow, they are wondering where the money will come from for the million promises that were made during he election campaigns. If however the NPP in spite of all the tax cuts and abolitions, is able to deliver even half of their promises in the 4-year term, then NDC actually dealt with Ghanaians and must sit up if they want to be reelected.

Nana will deliver because he is not going to tolerate thievery, Woyomi, SUBA,SADA, etc, deals. This will save more money for development.

Ate forson is economically impotent. Yest you had someone like that as finance minister in Ghana. Isn't it a damn shame,?. Even his boss seth tekper is nothing but lousy individual making empty noises. With all the billions of taxes collected. Where is the money. You stole everything andeft thecountry in massive debts. They must all be thrown into jails. I feel so sorry for our country. Now that we a government listening to the voice of the people look at their ugly faces and what they are saying. You had eight bloody good years, only to plunge the country into deep economic mess. The wheels of our economy are completely deflated and yet you want to burden it with deplorable taxes. How can the economy grow. Simple economic growth measures, reducing taxes is the key. Ndc. Just shut up and learn from the learned. Useless people.

You're totally out of your mind and I think you live in illusion because just a couple of months ago, these young woman were paying a potion of their earnings to your criminal Mahama and his Forty thieves with no hope of getting out of their nemesis and God in his infinite wisdom sends someone and reminding him to remember these young women, Hei!! Mr dumbo tell me how many successive governments have come and gone? and did anyone of them, I repeat my question, and did any one these past governments cited these women in their budget ever? Don't mention the name of the criminal kingpin Mahama because he eluded the citizenry with his sweet tones by earmarking billions of Gh cedis to help these folks in the lieu of the defunct SADA but turned around and took his share of the money as a kickback and left the criminal Roland Azure and co to embezzle the funds with impunity with the phony excuse that the Guinea fowls have migrated to the nearby Burkina Faso and the tree plantations also perished under the scorching sun because there were no rainfalls that year. In this modern world of the advanced technology even to create rains like what is practiced in the Great Israel and the Gulf States. Now this new government has eased the tax burden on these young women as the first aid to survive and has also made a budgetary allocations to set up factories in every district including the Northern districts for these people to go back home and work and also be with their families. The government has also proposed to build a dam in every district in the three Northern Regions to help our folks who wants to go into farming to get access to water to irrigate their farms, another $1 million for every district to fund their various local projects. But listening to you now, it looks like you're jilted for reasons only known to your warped mind and are spewing your nonsense. What else do you expect from a government that has assumed office for barely three months?

I don't really know the kind institutions that trained these NDC idiots. Fiscal consolidation and growth policy are mutually exclusive options for solving economic problems and so if Mahama concentrated on inflation targeting to achieve fiscal consolidation and Nana is using supply-side principles to achieve growth, how do these stupid NDC babies try to say they are Mahama's economic policies. Look, inflation targeting is demand-side economic policy and it phased out in the late 70s because it has so many deficiencies. My highest qualification is HND yet, I think, I am far better than these NDC gurus who boast of Masters degrees and PhDs.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)
