@TheEconomist Seems like it's high time for governments to wake up and take some serious measures to fix their financial mess. Otherwise, it's only going to get worse. Thanks for sharing this insightful read, @TheEconomist.
@TheEconomist Cutting spending is unpopular, and cutting spending is what all governments need.
@TheEconomist Here's the thing Economist, politicians don't care. #bethepeople
@TheEconomist That's why we like Islamic finance system, where you are only required to pay 2.5% Zakat (tax) (for Muslims) and 2% Jazya (tax) on your whole earnings. There's no other tax or hidden tax by government. Do research and you'll amaze In Sha Allah 😊
@TheEconomist if their politics are like that then turkey's politics must be "Cthulhu".
