This brings us to  our next poll, but before we pose the question, let's clarify the terms. When we say "willingly", it means paying the taxes even if there are no penalties for non-payment of taxes. It speaks of something altruistic, something which Pinoy Entrepreneurs would want to do for the common good without being complelled to do so. When we speak of doing something for the "common good", we're referring to the exact opposite of corruption. 

Now, having said that, here's the question -- Would you willingly pay your taxes if you know that the government is using the taxes for the common good? There are three choices.

Yes. It simply means that you're willing to pay your taxes, even if you're not forced to pay under  threat of imprisonment, if only you know that the government is using it for the common good. There's no tax wasted through corruption or bureaucratic wastage. You could say this is impossible,  but let's  just work on that assumption for this poll.

No. You just don't want to pay taxes. You may be asking  this question: "Why would I give away around 1/3 of my hard-earned income, even if it's for the common good?"

I don't care. For one reason or another, you just don't care.

Update: There are 18 votes as of 25 July 2008. 17 voted (94.4%) "yes", they would willingly pay tax if they know that the government is using it for the common good. There's only 1 vote (5.6%0 for "no". You could still express your opinion using the comment section below. Thank you.
