NYTimes reports on high taxation, fines and regulations in ISISland
Life Under the Islamic State: Fines, Taxes and Punishmentsthe NYT gives examples: You can be fined for wearing a cloak that is too tight ($25), not wearing socks or gloves ($30), possessing a pack of cigarettes ($23) or showing your eyes ($10). You can be taxed for each irrigated hectare of farmland ($46 per year), the wheat you produce (10 percent) and any crops you sell at your local market. You can also be punished if your sheep wear bells You can be fined if your car does not have an official Islamic State license plate ($43), for failing to correctly answer religious questions at checkpoints ($20), for giving a ride to violators ($23 per passenger) or for driving on the wrong side of the road ($25). DeBlasio and Obama will look at this less as human rights violations and more as a 'how to' manual. Posted by: lord garth 2016-05-31 |
