Naalala nyo ba yung pinagmukha tayong tax evaders dati??? Na parang tayo pa ang burden sa ibang tax payers???

Tapos malalaman mo na talamak at garapal ang pagnanakaw sa pondo ng gobyerno. At sila mismo ang TUNAY NA PABIGAT sa mga tao. Dahil nagbabayad ka nga ng tamang tax, hindi naman napupunta sa mga tama at totoong proyekto. Ang kakapal. Mas makapal pa sa dalawang volume ng Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine!

At yung mga nakinabang at nagpasasa sa tax natin hindi pa rin nakukulong… Ano na po? MAGPAPALIT NA ANG TAON. December na bukas.
