When they sit in Parliament and pronounce the high salaries to themselves, they should note that paying high taxes are the immediate consequences. Time to face realities is now!

  If you make money you need to pay taxes and these MP's are already falling within the taxable income brackets by all means. It is a loophole that has gone unnoticed for so many years. Thanks so much Mr. Boateng for bringing this up. You are my hero.
