well, most of us do not trust our governments for varying and similar reasons. that's not actually surprising.
and upon reading your posts, i simply nod my head in agreement. you guys just pointed the facts and I must agree with you. this just made me think, if you guys don't trust your government by specifying how low your wage, those darn debts, etc. etc... what more are we in our own government??
gee, living in a so-called Third World Country like Philippines will tell you that you are more lucky to live on your country than us. Our government seem to go nowhere! We have unstable political system and economy. Our demographic social status is like an inverted pyramid where the top comprises the elites or well have, only few has the capacity to build their own businesses and be called 'rich'. The larger part are the poor. Those who can't even live in the standards of supplying themselves their basic necessity.
The only thing that disturbs me everytime I encounter this kind of debate is that, while there are people, a lot of people, who live like rats, there are people, government officials, these morons who are living like king and queens enjoying the wealth of nation from the taxes of the poor people! Darn!
