An email that is making its round in Guatemala gave Luis Figueroa something to think about. He writes in his blog Carpe Diem [ES] that this email encourages citizens to make changes through the payment of taxes. Wait a minute, he writes, maybe they should question how the government uses these taxes or maybe question the entire system altogether. “I suggest we question whether we want a society based on a competition for privileges or one based on voluntary and peaceful cooperation.”
