What do people think about the Planned Donation Campaign and “Wealth Tax” of the AKP Government? There is reaction pouring from all layers of the society against the plans of the AKP government to raise funds through volunteer pledges and by imposing a wealth tax.Columnist-satirist Bekir Coskun says that “I found a way for AKP: let them make wedding for their children and collect the gold and in return. Grant them to the state!” Emin Colasan says that “The government apparently set a committee under State Minister Ali Babacan discussing pledges. The government has another invention too: “Let every citizen hand 100 dollars. Let us set up a Prophet Omer Fund. Let Turkey get rich!” “These projects are ridiculous. Such actions lack any seriousness and are not suitable for a state administration that is doomed to failure.“Be aware that the “Civil servant citizen” who had been announced as granting half of his salary to the government, is not disclosed. If this story is not pure fabrication, that employee is either a briber or a swindler or had a big amount of inheritance from his family…As an initial move, Erdogan can donate to the state, kilos of gold which was alleged by him as being presented to his family during his son’s wedding. That was how he had explained at court, the huge increase in his personal fortune…None of the rich cabinet members are making a move to donate, but are calling the people to make sacrifices… Why do not you take action against bank looters if you need money? Why do not you take action on the bosses who made 40 billion dollars evaporate in banks and live comfortably right now? “ Cuneyt Ulsever says that “Let us please check ourselves! Fortune Tax can be collected only by force. Such a move would only trigger the escape of fortune abroad. And besides, from whom shall be collect and according to which criteria we shall determine wealth? “
