Many layers to this onion.

Delving into different countries tax structures - good luck comparing apples to apples.

Dual Pricing Structures exist everywhere and come in many different flavors.

In the USA I received great savings over ordinary folk using my military discount. There were also teachers discounts, firefighter discounts and police discounts. Even had several venues where my military/veteran ID got me in free or cheap. Philadelphia Phillies games - military in for a buck (USD $1).

Resident versus non-resident fishing license/hunting license fees.

Disney park Orlando - drivers license showing local address for resident fee.

Dual pricing structures exist everywhere. Stationed in Italy, walk into a restaurant and speak to the waiter in Italian and get the resident menu vice the tourist menu. Usually in Italy if you speak the language you don't get taxed. If you're a foreigner you got the menu with the automatic tax and service fees added. Note - that was forty years ago and things do change.

I would say Yes, in a naive, indoctrinated and poorly educated way. If I need to explain that, you have obviously not interacted with Thai generally.

Yup, gotta agree with you 100% - stupidity knows no boundaries. People are people everywhere, every country, creed and race have their share of the good, the bad and the ugly.

The 3% derives, historically, from the higher income brackets whom are required to pay a percentage of tax from their income.

The ideals of taxing the income of working and lower classes is a bit of a barbaric act, anyway.

so where's the border line between racism and prejudiced. i always claim non racist, but 100% prejudiced.

I'm reminded at this time that studies show a link between a lack of intelligence and racism...

There is a much stronger a link between a lack of intelligence and trolling the way you do.

Was already reminded, don't need another by way of your petulant cross-thread stalking and dummy-spitting thanks.
