[Title] => Pay more taxes? Only if government biggies waste less money
[Summary] => While this writer was away covering Indonesia and Singapore, it seems, the result of a poll survey was published "revealing" that Filipino didn’t want any new taxes. That was the most useless survey question ever asked. Of course, nobody wants to pay more taxes.
Citizens want to pay more taxes even less when they see their tax contributions being squandered by government officials with outlandish paychecks and perks, or dumped into financially hemmoraghing government-run institutions.
