As the US economy slips into a recession, we can expect the prices of imported goods to rise and we can also expect the government to tax us even more. As a concerned citizen, I just thought that I would expose some business models that I came across that make use of ICT and that could become the proper target of more government taxation.
1. Call centers that allow Koreans to learn English. Perhaps the CHED could classify these call centers as schools and charge them for teaching English to Koreans abroad. The Koreans would get a degree or diploma and the government would get more money to be able to afford another project like ZTE.
2. Restaurants that Ge_a_do's that allow people to eat, drink and play gambling games online. These restaurants seem almost like a poor man's casino and a simple mayor's permit should not give them license to corrupt the morals of our countrymen by allowing them to indulge in their vices. We don't legalize jueteng because it is immoral and we should not condone online gambling. At least till they pay the proper taxes to PAGCOR perhaps.
3.CHOZDATE. An online dating service for the lonely hearts. Since only people with money can afford such a service, it stands to reason that they can be taxed more.
Of course, the more taxes are imposed, foreign investment will lessen. Or so the argument goes.
But between the Sumilao farmers, the Koreans and lonely rich men, it is the latter two who should bear the burden.
