Other nations: Bangladesh, Nepal and Indonesia rampaged and rioted vs the corruption of their own respective govt. In Indonesia, citizens protested vs the $3,000 plus housing allowances of ministers (the equivalent of congressmen here)
Here in the Philippines what used to be pork barrel funds, the PDAF became later the flood control funds amounting to billions not merely millions. Couple that with scandals showing:
1. Nepos splurging more than P700,000 in meals in USA and saying that it is Dads money not that
of govt
2. Bell Helicopters and Gulfstream jets by the Speaker and their cohorts
3. Budget insertions
4. Ransacking the treasury for their excess funds to finance the insertions
5. Blatant presence of: congressmen and senators link with contractors, contractors contributing
campaign funds to Senators
and blatant lying connected with the above
are clearly demotivators for the citizens and taxpayers, contributing to the lard that the thieves are partaking of. We work so hard to finance the waste and profligacy of the children of the tibs, and their luxury homes, cars and what have you. And you question why you pay taxes.
Will you work still hard to contribute to the largesse that these people are plundering?
