S.A Government makes huge profits from crime

Question: "What is the influence of crime on the S.A. Govt?"
Answer: Crime generates millions and millions of Rands for the SA
Government.
Here are the facts...
Example 1:
Take just one million home owners in Gauteng who pay for "armed crime
reaction" (not crime prevention) where private security companies react
AFTER the crime has taken place - no wonder they never make any arrests!
This service costs on average R250 p.m. Therefore 1,000,000 x R240.00 x
12 months x 14% VAT, generates R403 million in tax revenue for the SA Govt!
Example 2:
A car thief steals a R500,000 car and receives between R10,000 and
R30,000 for his deed. The car owner is paid out by insurance and then
purchases another similar vehicle, on which he pays 14% VAT of approx
R70,000 as a direct result of crime. Who profited the most? The thief or
the SA Govt?
We must begin with a mechanism whereby the SA Govt is forced to
reconsider this unconstitutional and immoral practice of profiting from
crime!
All South Africans should demand that all payments related to protection
of life and property should be VAT free and Tax deductible!
This principle should also apply to replacement of stolen property as
well as estate duty. If a person dies as a result of crime we should
also demand that estate duty not be paid. How much do you think the SA
Govt. has made out of estate duty from the murders of 1300 South
African farmers?
The S.A. Govt likes to compare us to overseas. Well overseas your safety
and security is covered by your income tax and is tax deductible!
It is time that South Africans stood together and made the Govt. and
public aware of the Govt's "income" from crime. In the meantime crime is
the goose that lays the golden egg.
Is it also not unreasonable to expect victims of violence and hijackings
to pay their own medical costs?
The Govt. should pay for these expenses as well as family counseling for
victims!
Come on South Africa, ask the right questions and demand the right answers!
