Pork scam: What’s the point of paying taxes?

10:19 PM July 22, 2013

Regarding Nancy C. Carvajal’s series of news reports exposing the systemic and massive abuse of the public trust: To describe the sickening situation as outrageous would be an understatement.

Imagine, both the elected and appointed officials in the government delegated with political powers having the temerity to abuse the very people who granted them such powers? It is sickening to note how the governors of the land maltreat the governed.

If this is the order of governance in public (dis)service, what’s the point of paying taxes to the government?
