Tax thuggery in Guyana

Oct 07, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the official misuse of personal and confidential tax information obtained from any citizen. Richard Nixon did do, and so did John F. Kennedy. Still, it should not happen-must not happen-here in Guyana. There is no place, and none must be allowed, for this type of lawlessness.
Without a doubt, such behaviour rises to the level of felonious conduct and a deplorable abuse of office and power. It is highly unacceptable, whether politically orchestrated, or boasts a public service source; or both.
Clearly, misuse of tax information is expressly intended to intimidate and pummel into submission and silence. It is wrong; it is obscene. It is tax thuggery of the vilest sort. The severest of penalties ought to be levied, if only to deter similar criminal misconduct in the future.
