SINGAPORE SHORT STORIES: Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder...:
"I read with a tinge of sadness that a 31-year old man has been charged over stealing few tins of baby milk powder at a “Shop-N-Save” outle..."
Not too long ago, it used to be that everyone must pay tax, even if they are penniless. So a poor man would have to sell his wife and children just to pay tax. Since the king or emperor owned the country, the idea of a citizen-ownership income never existed in those times.
If only Singapore has a citizen-ownership democracy. No Singaporean needs to steal milk powder for babies.
Singaporeans should not have to face such a need, given the amount of money that is rightfully theirs. In other countries, the baby allowance can be a few hundred dollars every month for many years. And Singapore is a resource rich country.

Societies have evolved to be just a little bit better. The state taxes away your citizen-ownership income totally, just the same as those kings and emperors. If you don't have other income, you are dead, almost.
Why does a person who has a right to $9,000 annually, need to steal baby milk powder for his baby, who also has a right to $9000 annually?
