A wave of anger and frustration continued spreading on Wednesday among Jordanians, fuelled by the new governmental economic reforms announced on Tuesday.

The government announced a new set of prices and taxes to start taking effect on Wednesday morning, leading Jordanians to criticize this decision, which many people believe will further increase their living expenses, and in some cases, will not allow some families from affording their daily basic needs.

The new imposed taxes target basic commodities, including bread and fuel, which in turn will increase the prices of transportation, cigarettes and foodstuffs.

Social media users launched on Wednesday the satirical hashtag “#Suggest a tax to the government”
(#اقترح_ضريبة_على_الحكومة)

In other words, Jordanians wanted to draw the government’s attention to things that do not have taxes already imposed on them.

Some Jordanians started making funny suggestions:
