Paying our tax, as necessary.
We worked hard for the money.
Only to be corrupted by the officials.
Everything we buy, there's tax imposed.
Prices of goods are getting expensive.
While corrupt officials are busy filling their pockets with tax money.
How could that be?
We are paying our taxes for the progress of the country.
Yes, there are projects.
There are infrastructures.
However, some politicians do get a percentage of money from the budgets of those projects.
It is a sad thing for the citizens who worked hard for their money, and pay the taxes as part of an obligation to our nation.
But the rulers are taking advantage of the money we worked hard for.
They just have those thick faces claiming they will be good for the country in their platforms during election.
When in fact, we are just fooled by them.
They earn from our money.
Well, corruption is elsewhere.
It cannot be undone that easily.
Because at times, it's some of the people who are corrupt.
That also makes corrupt politicians.
