Thanks a lot Sen. Recto!

     Prices of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or cooking gas and other Petroleum products are going up again. Surely, prices of all other commodities will soon follow the trend. Every time the prices of fuel products go up, all other manufacturers of basic goods hike their prices too. It's like a race for the finish line for the "Price Hikes"!

     Well, we have to "thank" Sen. Ralph "Vilma Santos" Recto for that (the senator is married to a famous veteran actress in the Philippines named Vilma Santos, also a politician and Governor of Batangas Province, home province of the Sen.). Ever since he made the law increasing the Value added Tax to 12%, Juan Dela Cruz was screwed 100 million times over. Sure the prices of fuel products are rising world wide but if the VAT was lower than 12% or if it was not imposed on fuel, the story would be different. Pinoys don't have to be so hard up on buying LPG to cook their food or on gassing up their vehicles or on riding public transport that had to increase fares to off-set the high prices of fuel.

     So many times the Filipinos have asked, begged, prayed, pleaded, beseech and implored the Government and our Politicians to remove, suspend or lower the VAT on fuel products but it all fell on deaf ears.....The Politicians/Government always say that they need the 12% vat to improve their services and to finance government projects, etc. which will in the end benefit the people. Yeah sure, benefit themselves and their pockets but never poor Juan Dela Cruz! You Scumbags!

     So thanks a lot Sen. Ralph Recto! Thank you so much for the 12%VAT that you extort from poor Filipinos like me every single day of our miserable, wretched, depressing, poor life. While you, your family and your fellow Politicians and Government personnel enjoy the "Good Life" from our 12%VAT. I hope all of you will pay your "VAT" too, come Judgment Day! Vermin!
