    Imma go ahead and say the income tax & VAT combined don’t equal 97B.

    Additionally, imma guess immigrants took out much less than the 97B they put into the system.

    Fact check me.

      That’s not how fact checking works.

      Someone’s made a stupid text on image post incorrectly comparing things and didn’t even back that up.

          Funny how that person responded to everyone except for you. You being the person who provided evidence that likely proves them completely wrong.

          Mustn’t draw attention to the argument that beats mine.
