Why our taxes were raised after the 2004 elections

Because before the 2004 elections, she borrowed money heavily overseas during 2001-2004 (more than erap, cory and fvr COMBINED!) -- kaya lumaki ang utang natin -- para lang "manalo" sa eleksyon, and now we taxpayers are the ones who have to pay for her reckless borrowing and spending.

And another reason for the increased taxes is because of Charter Change. Alam nilang magiging magastos ito, kaya nga at first they proposed to scrap the ang 2007 elections.

But it only shows that they got their priorities wrong, kung magiging magastos ang Cha-cha at 2007 Elections, YOU SCRAP CHA-CHA, NOT THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS!!!

All this talk about a strong economy is BS. Most of what little economic gains we have are being whittled by arroyo's corruption, incompetence and misguided priorities re Chacha. Filipinos know the real picture and are not conned by the propaganda tactics of the Arroyo admin. People are losing their jobs here daily and are leaving in droves to find work overseas.
