He want s to reduce this. Now the tax % is arounf 60/150 = 40%. What RK conceals is, during his time also it was aroubnd 40%.Then the next problem is if Gove. cuts the tax, who's going to pay the salaries of Ceypetco employees? RK is in death silence about this. Then he effectively conceals that 1/2 to 2/3 of country's oil is used for electricity generation. And oil that are sold to Electricity board is virtually tax free. So it's impossible to reduce the price of oil, or otherwise Ceypetco will fall. And that's the very thing Ravindran Karunanayagam (Ravi Karunanayake) wants.Myth #2 - By reducing jumbo cabinet we can bring down oil pricesIf MR bring down the cabinet, can Ranil give a certificate that he'll not defeat the government? What is cheaper? maintining a 100 minister cabinet or a parliamantary election? Keeping the current cabinet for 5 yeras will cost 1/3 of that of latterAnd how comparable is cost of cabinet minsters to that of war? 1:20-50! Reducing the cabinet would not help in the war either way.Myth #3 - This is the most corrupted governmentPeople have short memories. They have forgotton how corrupted Ranil's givernment was. So were Chandrika's and Premadasa's</blockquote>
