To some extent COMMUNITY PANTRIES are analogous to the concept of taxation

‘You give what you are able and/or take what you need’ same way ppl w/ higher salaries pay higher taxes, whilst some aren& #39;t required to pay at all

Taxes collected are the main (1/3)

source of gov& #39;t funds, and IDEALLY they are to be used for the benefit of the GENERAL PUBLIC

However, just like when some ppl take more than what they need from community pantries... corrupt officials take money from these taxes, hence it fails to reach the general public (2/3)

Maybe this is why they are so keen on red-tagging community pantry organizers... bc when things are simplified like this it wouldn& #39;t be long before people start to realize how shitty this government actually is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face"> (3/3)

P.S. This is why walang sense yung tanong na “ano ambag mo?” kasi lahat tayo may ambag, lahat nagbabayad ng tax either directly or indirectly

And in exchange, we should be receiving the government service we deserve... pero nasaan? Paramdam naman niyan.
