Abel Malan en Anton van Niekerk

Sommer twee poepolle in een kamer. Abel is 'n poepol omdat hy 'n drol probeer regmoer. Anton is 'n poepol omdat hy my probeer skuldig laat voel oor iets wat ons gedwing is om te doen deur 'n klomp Afrikaner Nasionaliste wat ook die wereld om hulle met geweld probeer in 'n onhoudbare rigting indwing.

Neels Ferreira

“Daar was sterk argumente ten gunste van die belangrike rol wat ‘n behoorlike invoertarief kan speel in die implementering van ‘n omkeerstrategie vir die graanbedryf”, meen mnr. Ferreira. ‘n Behoorlike invoertarief sou beslis gelei het tot ‘n onttrekking van hektare vanaf somergrane ten gunste van koringproduksie."

BLA BLA BLA BLA - Neels Ferreira, gee hom 'n nappie, hy is pap sop nat...

Graan SA sien dus die aankondiging van die tarief allermins as ‘n begunstiging, dit is onnodig ter wille van die verbruiker en laat die produsente weereens weerloos.

Verstaan die man nie hoe dit behoort te werk nie? Die regering behoort nie tussenbeide te tree nie - die MARK is die tussenganger. Wanneer dinge ten gunste is van die produsent, klim daar meer produsente in en wanneer dit kak gaan klim hulle uit. Dit is hoe dit behoort te werk. Maar ouens soos Ferreira maak sy lewe uit "lobbying" - hy word dus betaal om teen die verbruiker op te tree ten gunste van sy "constituency". Dit is vanuit 'n beginselposisie verkeerd, Maar nou ja, hy moet maar bler (hoe sit 'n mens 'n kappie op?)

Die impak van die tarief sal as ‘n saak van dringendheid met die Minister van Landbou bespreek word. Ek hoop hy neem 'n verbruiker saam wat nou meer as R 10 moet opdok vir 'n witbrood! Voer goedkoop koring in sonder fokken belasting daarop! Dit bevoordeel sommiges ten koste van die massas.

Hier is nog 'n poepol in die saga: http://poepolvandieweek.blogspot.co.za/2016/04/jannie-de-villers-ceo-of-farmers-lobby.html Kan hulle nie ophou om na die regering te kyk vir oplossings nie?

Floyd Shivambu, ANC Youth League

The ANCYL has noted a booklet published by right-wing quasi-intellectuals aimed at diverting and rebutting some of the valid facts raised by the ANC Youth League on the Nationalisation of Mines debate. The pro-capitalist, right-wing FMF has gathered together a group of intellectually weak and dim-witted individuals to reflect on the Nationalisation of Mines debate, and grounded their arguments on misinformation.

If you want your behaviour to be regarded as private, don't act in a way that exposes you. If you can't take the heat, take a shower. Sorry, you are on the list.

Alice Thompson: Earthlife.

They do not care about the poor.

In their submission to NERSA on the Eskom price hike application they said: "We could get our manufacturing industries going again through the introduction of tariff barriers to stop the influx of cheap imported goods which undermine our local economy." (Star - 26/01/2010).

Spot the error in their thinking.

Without going into what individuals such as Adam Smith said in the 18th Century (Wealth of Nations: a rhetorical piece written for the generally educated individual of the 18th century - advocating a free market economy as more productive and more beneficial to society - Wikipedia) and Friedman in the 20th - surely by now individuals realise that tariffs on cheap consumer goods lead to the increase of the labour cost of all other manufactured products (by increasing the wage demands of workers - to mention only one effect) and therfore is a very blunt instrument that only serves sectoral interests.

Alice you are the proud recipient of this week's award.
