bong,
You keen instinct never cheats on you. It’s a compliment, not a curse. Just being cavalier once in a while.

For my part, I do not condone what they did with HR 1109. The heroes in this struggle, however in fact they failed to arrest the storm, are Golez, Casino, Hontiveros, Satur, most of the progressive-minded party list, and some other souls – who may have pretended to be against 1109 when in truth are for it.

Unfortunately, we cannot accurately say that those who signed 1109 resolution are to be condemned since in the actual voting, it was done by viva voce precisely so no one from the bozo kingdom gets alienated, excommunicated, or demonized.

Clearly, they know the tricks from the books.

Joe, civil disobedience is milder than a people’s revolution. The former hurts the wallet, the latter will snuff out lives. But then, when other alternatives failed, is there another choice by the people? Isn’t it true that when people’s back is unto a wall and nowhere to go he’s forced to bite the bullet?

I sincerely hope that we won’t be forced to bite the bullet. Sincerely as in sincerely…with all my heart and emotion.

I’m sure all you guys do too!
Let’s all hope for the best, the ball is not in our hands yet.

Primer:

As far as this thread is concerned, I take the word “gago” as a compliment :lol:

Your argument is not corrupt – your argument describes CORRUPTION.
The activities you described in your activities – pera pera lang yan – are activities that are CORRUPT.

Now, if you say, you approve and condone such practices (if not actively participate in it) – you can come to your own conclusions on what I (and others) will conclude.

Bong,

You should not call my argument that of the corrupt.

It is all about Skinner – the ‘Skinnerian brutes’ you once told me about?

He, he, minsan gago ka magisip bong.

I think trying to make the economy worse (by non-payment of taxes in protest) hurts too many people. Too many people live at the edge of poverty. There are other forms of protest that do not hurt people in the wallet.

I also think violence is not what the Philippines needs now. The world watches. It needs rational leaders.

How can Dilangalen say that, he has not heard the rest of the speeches. It is obvious they have already made up their minds and they would not want to waste any more time to anyone having a contrary opinion no matter how entitled the opposition are to being heard. They were all in a hurry to get this approved. I would not even be surprised if there was an order to have the bill be approved on an exact time ala militar.

Civil disobedience sounds good. Please provide specifics.
Also, factor in, who are paying the bulk of the taxes.

Points of clarification:

1 – Can an employee request an employer not to pay his withholding tax?

2 – How about the underground economy? – how do they figure in this since this group does not pay taxes.

3 – How does one deal with the BIR before and after the civil disobedience campaign so that the loss in revenue due to the campaign is demonstrated glaringly.

4 – How do we deal with the penalties imposed by BIR due to nonpayment during the civil disobedience campaign.
