The long existence of the progressive blocs (the leftists) have affected the way our people think and as seen on the comments on the daily news: (The theory of diaectics at work Only conflicts move the world)
1. We would like to see more benefits to the producers (farmers) and yet we want to see lower retail prices for their produce (like palay)
2. People would like more ayuda but comment negatively on the high level of debt. We can not have both.
3 People would like to rid the govt of corruption, yet persistently wants those in power to give their personal needs - food shelter, medical, and even delivery of their babies. The poor govt official has
no choice except to make illegal source of funds to assist constituents
4 Drivers want lifting of excise taxes and yet we want govt to continue giving services, higher wages for govt employees Lifting excise tax would mean loss of P1.3 trillion according to a source (about 20% of budget)
Can we have both? Or they are mutually exclusive
