"If we take the full meaning of the term society into consideration, it will be seen that till now human beings have not been able to form a real society. If India builds a society for only Indians, Pakistan for only Pakistanis, and England for only the English, then these three separate societies will exist, but we cannot look upon them as the society of humanity. Because humanity is divided into groups, one society will naturally try to thrive by exploiting the vitality of others. �You will notice that efforts are being made to establish so-called societies in some particular part of the world, for some particular section of the people, and based on some particular 'ism" or faith. A social consciousness based on such divisions lies latent in the minds of the people, whether they are Indian, Pakistani or English, so they remain absorbed in thoughts of their smaller groups." - Shrii Prabhat R. Sarkar

"Human beings have still not been able to form a human society, and have still not learned to move with the spirit of a pilgrim. Although many small groups, motivated by self-interest, work together in particular situations, not even a small fraction of their work is done with a broader social motive. By strict definition, shall we have to declare that each small family unit is a society in itself? If going ahead in mutual adjustment only out of narrow self-interest or momentary self-seeking is called society, then in such a society, no provision can be made for the disabled, the diseased or the helpless, because in most cases nobody can benefit from them in any way... in that case there always remains the possibility of some people getting isolated from the collective. All human beings must attach themselves to others by the common bond of love and march forward hand in hand; then only will I proclaim it a society." - Shrii Prabhat R. Sarkar

"Power concedes nothing without a demand.' The struggle for justice must never be adjourned. The forces of injustice do not take vacations. Societies are not static in this regard. They await the political and civic energies of individuals who engage the arenas of power, multiply their numbers and emblazon in deeds and institutions the immortal principle that "Here the People Rule." - Ralph Nader

Zulia Governor Manuela Rosales will eliminate sales tax on basic foodstuffs


Manuela Rosales (governor of Zulia state), has been saying that he will eliminate sales tax (IVA) on basic foodstuffs and that the SENIAT (Venezuela’s equivalent to the IRS in the USA) is an organization that is made up of thugs who coerce and threaten people into paying their due taxes … and that the sales tax, IVA, is the highest in Latin America and in the world (which is completely false, according to research done by the SENIAT). As a side note at this point: if people really believe that there is no freedom of expression in Venezuela, why is it that this Rosales character goes on overtly lying, in public, about the truth? Well … here it goes: Rosales wants to eliminate the IVA on basic foodstuffs? There is no IVA on all basic foodstuffs in Venezuela, unless it is imported (which is non-basic foodstuff). - Oscar Heck

Who would want a liar and/or ignorant person to run their government? And … I am not talking about the US government!

Manuel Rosales, Chavez’ main (and only real) opponent for Venezuela’s upcoming December 3 presidential elections has been openly lying about issues, using these lies to conjure support for his candidacy.

But, there is something seriously wrong with these lies ... and it is more than laughable.

Manuela Rosales (governor of Zulia state), has been saying that he will eliminate sales tax (IVA) on basic foodstuffs and that the SENIAT (Venezuela’s equivalent to the IRS in the USA) is an organization that is made up of thugs who coerce and threaten people into paying their due taxes … and that the sales tax, IVA, is the highest in Latin America and in the world (which is completely false, according to research done by the SENIAT).

As a side note at this point: if people really believe that there is no freedom of expression in Venezuela, why is it that this Rosales character goes on overtly lying, in public, about the truth?

Well … here it goes: Rosales wants to eliminate the IVA on basic foodstuffs? There is no IVA on all basic foodstuffs in Venezuela, unless it is imported (which is non-basic foodstuff).

How come he doesn’t know this? Isn’t he a Venezuelan? Isn’t he running against Chavez for the presidency? He doesn’t know that there is no IVA on basic foodstuff?

This goes to show the caliber of opposition (opposition to Chavez) presidential candidates. They don’t even know that there is no IVA on basic foodstuffs in their own country! Where has he been all this time as governor of the state of Zulia? In Miami? Oh … I forgot, he, probably, like most anti-Chavez mid-to-upper class Venezuelans, has maids that go shop for him.

In consequence, the SENIAT has deposited a legal deposition against Rosales to ask the courts to bring down a judgment against him ordering him to stop saying anything against the SENIAT unless it is true.

What kind of Venezuelan would vote for a presidential candidate who has no idea that there, in his own country, there is no IVA on basic foodstuff?

You can go through the 35 page IVA law (May 2006) … and see for yourself (particularly article 18)
You can see for yourself the SENIAT announcing their court deposition against Rosales

This is incredible … and it only adds to the evidence that the vile, lying, anti-Chavez opposition is comprised mostly of ignorants.

Imagine if Rosales were to run the country? Huh!
