Dear Editor,
The government is starving for revenue and every chance it gets it hikes fees on the owners of motor vehicles and/or imposes more taxes on the overburdened taxpayers.
Meanwhile, in a clime where the "law is not a shackle", we have thousands of citizens breaking the law, and even more of our citizens are getting involved in acts of criminality, such as stealing electricity.
A wise government would "take one stone and kill two birds". A wise government, in order to stamp out the rampant theft and get needed revenue, would enact legislation to arrest, prosecute and impose stiff fines and/or imprisonment for stealing. Look at the revenue windfall that could be generated if a mandatory minimum fine of $10,000 plus court costs of $1000 were to be imposed for each breach of theft of electricity.
Do the math.
