This is only an elections ploy to get votes from the oldies half of who never did formal jobs.
I will focus on the teaming youth if I were the other parties.
INDC some countries, even inheritance is taxed. There is nothing free out there, don't be deceived.
Think, believe clever and put in the effort to build a solid nation and stop this privileges nonsense.

Honesty, in those countries where inheritance tax and Pensions are taxed they are called "advanced countries" because the systems work. There is nothing free out there but the taxes are used to improve and develop the country and they can even afford to give us hand outs to support our budgets. What do you mean by if they worked hard enough Ghana would not be taxing them after end of service? You are just blowing hot air. What has this Government done with the huge tax burden they have put on Ghanaians? That has not even stopped them from borrowing. So what are they using our taxes for?

YES, Ghanaian workers are lazy, late all the time, unproductive and corrupt.
I don't speak for the government, so direct your question to the various ministries if you want good answers, but I will never stand and watch Nana Addo and his bunch come and make things even harder. Mark my words.

I am a tall young bared headed man. I have lost the chance of getting a grey hair through a thick cumulous wee smoke I entered during one of my nocturnal visit to a wee smoking old man whom I share a common dream with.
The wee smoke nearly marred our vision; thank God we were able to get good medical practitioner to provide us with thick lens spectacle equivalent to the bottom of Coca Cola bottle.
I have strong common characteristics with this old man and some uncommon ones too. Consider the following:
We have both lost our fathers ( Mine died peacefully whilst the old man’s father died a criminal.
Our fathers were Politician’s Mine is a honest man in a very prestigious political party whilst the old man’s father was a thief and a traitor in an extremist party.
We all studied economics in school - I hold a doctorate degree in economics whilst the old man has 3rd grade bachelor’s degree.
I have certificates and work experience but the old man has nothing to prove his academic qualification apart from being a minister of state.
The dreams of our fathers are very similar that we shall one day become head of state of Ghana.
I have good experience in money laundering which is clearly manifested during the redenomination exercise of the country currency something in common with the old man’s father. This motivated the old wee smoker to offered me a hand shake to be partners in crime to fight a course of ruling the people at all cost..
The Ganja old man is skilful in narcotics whilst I am skilful in manipulating balance sheets . After much deliberations which I will tell you later; we agreed to run on a ticket of a certain Acid party to loot big time. Since we have all dissipated the resources bequeathed to us by our parents.
I have tried my best by lying much as per the advice of the Ganja old man, I have been to the Mecca to throw a stone at the devil to pave the way for me, However during my stone throwing the devil threw a bigger stone which I had to ran away to save my dear life. The devils stone killed many. I then reviewed my strategy to visit every local mosque. Unfortunately the Ganja old man has caused a sacrilege by easing himself on the mosque “Eeeeeiiiii Opanyin Bon” I shouted Allah will punish you I said.
Little did I know that this act of sacrilege is the doom of our dreams. I am afraid of my Moslem brothers to enter the Christian church too as they have large followers . It is unfortunate that all my efforts have been in vain. I have lied and professed falsely against all credible state institutions just earn some following but all to no avail this is my last chance since I have no other job than the peanut coming from a benevolent Christian pastor. “EGYA M3KA …MEDI NKWASEAS3M” I should have listen to my father and follow his footsteps.

“We will reduce the tax burden on our people and businesses so that they can employ more people and introduce a Tax Credit scheme for Companies that employ fresh graduates so that we will increase the employment of fresh graduates,” Dr. Bawumia told students and lecturers of the E.P. College of Education, Amedzofe in the Volta region, Wednesday.
But I can also say that as an incentive to companies to hire recent graduates from recognised tertiary
institutions in Ghana, a deduction from tax on income of between 10% and 50% of the recent graduate’s salary is granted, depending on the percentage of recent graduates employed in relation to the total employees of the company.
