The human face of recession.

[Marq]

Consider this to be a tax on the rich class - no matter the background.

I see it as paying for assets we cannot afford and should not have arranged for in the first place. The country is going to pay as a whole, not just the rich class.

There is a price to be paid for general stability

The poor are going to be that much poorer because the overall pot remains the same if not less than before as a result of slow to no growth. This same pot is now going to pay for the finance, admin and maintenance costs of these so called investments. When the dust settles and the country realises that FIFA has all the profits and money and the balance is actually out of the country. The rest of us will be paying off these projects. The labour has to move on to do the roads and other big government projects that are lined up, or it too goes back into the poor pot. The financing of these government projects that should have been the first priority, has no return besides stability in the labour and union sector. Eventually (I think sooner rather than later) this could create instability as funds are still not channeled to the poor and service delivery as requested, demanded and promised does not materialise.
