If people say your dreams are crazy, if they laugh at what you think you can do. Good, stay that way. Because what non-believers don’t understand is that calling a dream crazy isn’t an insult, it’s a compliment. #JustDoIt Don’t try to be the fastest runner in your school or the fastest in the world, be the fastest ever.

The question I've been getting after yesterday is "how do we tax Internet companies if they are not registered here?"
A thread.... Let me re-iterate that taxing Internet companies is a good idea. In fact, even before this whole #SocialMediaTax discussion, I was wondering why African countries and Uganda, in particular, do not get revenue from them.

Mr. @UCC_ED, there's is no social media tax in Europe or North America as you claim. Social media or other Internet companies pay taxes from the money they make through ads or otherwise. The tax is not levied on citizens as a pre-requisite for accessing services. There's a fundamental difference between Facebook paying taxes on their revenue and asking citizens to pay. It's mind-boggling that someone in your position can convolute something like this in front of cameras. The confidence in your ignorance is shocking Mr. @UCC_ED
