Thinking of ways to :-
(1) Earning and enlarging the economic pies - will means there are more budget to spend on social spendings.
(2) Set aside a budget to help those in lower and middle income - will help to close up income and social inequality.
(3) Setting aside another budget to give to all Singaporeans - irregardless of income status - is a way to show appreciation to all income groups that have contributed to the Economy of Singapore - so that higher income group don't feel they are left out or not appreciated for their effort in the contribution to the Economy.
