Power For Cruelty

Just moments ago, I was watching the news and a certain topic caught my attention. It involved a government sector and vendors under a bridge at a certain place.

The GS (as I will call them) were demolishing the vendors' stalls and flipping over their sales of fruits, vegetables and the like. The whole time, my mouth was wide open as I stared in horror at what I saw.

What the GS did was not right. It was rude, unacceptable and pretty much gave a wrong impression of the government.

What if those fruits and vegetables were all those people had for a living?

And I thought the government was SUPPOSED to serve the people. And just for their information, those vendors WERE a part of the community.

The people, rich or not, deserve to be respected. Discrimintaing those who have lesser does not show a good government at all. And besides, aren't the government supposed to make programs for them?

Hmmm...I wonder. Where are all our taxes going?
