What people seem to forget through this all is that they only wanting to lift the minimum wage so they can impose income tax on those salaries. People are blinded by a raise in salary but what they forget to mention is what is actually really left over from that 600baht after the tax man. Not to mention that if salaries go up this will affect the prices in the supermarkets .... so cost of living up + income tax deductions = people will be left with even less than they earn right now. Don't be blind to think you will be earning more! ... All this to fill treasury chest?
