    Taxins money back to the people

    I've read googling once at forbes site Toxin is listed fortune number 18 in Asia...

    few month ago it was 4'000'000'000 yes if i remember well 4 billion US dollars

    This figure with his new sales and probably some tax returns from Vat of selling things abroad and so on, has changed to the higher again...


    If half the money accumulated would be redistributed to the Thai society ( no not to yourself ! ) where would you advise the government to put it ?

    Foreigners, even long-termers might be interested in reading:

    "Thaksin: The Thaksinization of Thailand." 2005.

    Reduce tax on cheese and kids toys, then maybe introduce a nuclear defence program and then see how it goes from there.

    That of course has been his plan all along

    He'll spend a bit on the up-coming election which will put him back in power for another stretch and he's considered to have paid his debt to society

    But, lets hope enough Thais have woken up to his cunning plan and are able to thwart it at the last minunte

    Dirty Dog,

    You noted Thaksin's theft of 10 million USD worth of gear from a foreign business partner.

    I've heard of this before, but I can't find anything on google.

    Can you or anyone lead me to the info. on the ruling?


    Thanks, if possible.

    ^ interestingly I heard on the grape-vine that he was after Chang beer (because he thought it had real international potential ) but had been told, not so politely to get ....

    My informant led me to believe that is what started this whole mess (e.g. his sale of Shin to raise the funds, the demos outside the SEC, etc.) and that all this comes down to a spat between two businessmen.

    I think he should get an English master brewer over and start producing some real beer.

    If he did that and sold it cheap, I wouldn't give a toss what he did with the rest of it.

    nation was talking about

    googling again i came to a nation article telling he made 73 billion Thb profit from his last sales Shin story...

    Chamlong or so, asked himto release someof this wealth and he may give up a third like 26 Billion thb for the poor of Thailand...

    May be he knows what poors need and allready is investing there now...
