NDF/Sison: Duterte threatens to kill tax evaders to shake them down for his onw benefit

Posted to the National Democratic Front Philippines (NDFP) Website (Oct 30, 2020): Duterte threatens to kill tax evaders to shake them down for his onw benefit

By Jose Maria Sison, NDFP Chief Political Consultant

Duterte is the greatest pretender and the biggest cheat of all. He once threatened to kill all drug lords but he killed 30,000 poor people arbitrarily tagged as drug users and peddlers. And he became the biggest drug lord and drug smuggler.

He once cursed the greatest tax evader Lucio Tan. But then the two rascals secretly colluded to reduce Tan’s so many tens of billion pesos of tax liabilities to a measly few tens of millions of pesos.

Would anyone believe Duterte now that he would run after and kill the biggest tax evaders? For show, he can arrest or even kill some low-level tax evaders and some BIR officials. But the show is just a cover for his private shakedown of the biggest tax evaders.

As in amassing loot from the public treasury and from the illegal drug trade, Duterte and his agents will enlarge their loot from the biggest tax evaders. Mans Carpio, Sara’s husband, and his team of lawyers and accountants will become more busy counting the loot and deploying it in safe-haven foreign banks while Duterte take his long sleeps induced by Fentanyl or postdialysis rest.
