As we have seen today, no matter how huge the tax our government had collected each year, and how wide is its coverage, still poverty is widespread in the country.
A lot of the Filipino people were wondering why in spite of the richness our country has, people are still struggling. In my opinion, greed is behind everything. I am not so sure if you have thought about it, because I had just thought about it recently.
In the Old Testament, the Scriptures says, God had asked only 10% of what He is giving us. And in the New Testament, the scriptures says that God loves a cheerful giver and it is not the amount that matters, but it is what you heart is joyfully and willingly want to give back to God.
However, BIR in the Philippines is collecting taxes way too high for an ordinary and average employee. If this grave mistakes won't be corrected, then ordinary Filipino people will continue to struggle in life.
So, if we do things NOT in God's way, but in our own and greedy way, then surely, poverty will not go away from our country.
