New taxes not worth it

Sometimes, I feel like we poor Filipinos are here on earth just to serve GMA and provide for her, instead of the other way around.

Para tayong "life support system" ng mga Pidals, trying to keep this corrupt and sick admin alive by surrendering whatever hard-earned money we have left to higher taxes, just to help them maintain their old, wasteful and unreformed habits.

And while a few senators may have feigned outrage at the new taxes for dramatic effect, bottom line is that the admin senators and congressmen still hold the majority in the House and the Senate, and they could easily pass these new taxes by party-line vote.

And what happened to all this talk about "abolishing the pork barrel" and cutting spending? Biglang napatahimik yata ang mga politicians natin ah.

Will they get to keep their "pork barrels" after all while giving us these new burdensome taxes in return? I hope not.

All I can say about this is that if they want to raise taxes, bahala sila.

Just keep in mind that there are consequences...

It's also interesting na while the gov't rejected any new wage increases for workers, yung admin ni GMA mismo ay makakakuha naman ng "pay increase" via new taxes. Interesting.
