How does it feel to be in a country where you pay the taxes, you work all your life but you don't have any effect on the election results?
The Philippine election is a disappointment.
I think, most people know what I mean. The middle class probably know whom not to vote. But the poor class is still the majority. This is a democratic country. Where the majority is "suppose to be right". It sounds good for most people. But what if the majority is dumb to pick their own leaders?
“The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.” - Aristotle
The middle class who works, pays taxes have no say in this so called display and exercise of freedom and democracy. It's just a load of crap to me. Sugar coated so it sounds politically correct. Since the poor people control the majority, they will continue to whine about how poor they are and how the government should help them. While the middle class will pay the taxes to feed the poor. A very good system if you ask me. Its a very good system to chase away middle class in the country and live abroad.
And I must admit, this is the first time in my life that I thought that migrating would probably be the best thing to do. And I can see why most Filipinos feel they have to go and live abroad.
The link above summarizes all the problems and the reason why we are in this state of politics in the Philippines today. It is worth a read.
