¿Qué hacen con los impuestos?

Según mi cuate Cris, el siguiente párrafo es la traducción de uno que halló en un blog chino. El escritor objeta el uso que se le da a los impuestos que paga; y, aunque se refiere a China, es fácil aplicarlo a Guatemala.

“I want to know if my taxes becomes the most expensive alcohol–Maotai and Wuliangye at dinner; I want to know if my taxes become the fresh flowers used for all kinds of big and small meetings. I want to know if my taxes become the bricks for building the image projects? I want to know if my taxes become the fun experience for the public servants’ overseas investigations? I want to know if my taxes become the comforts of luxury cars? I want to know if my taxes were given generously as a bribe? I want to know if my taxes were wasted by state-owned companies or became an accomplice to monopolize the market price? I want to know if my taxes pay for the bad debt in the banking system… I want to know if my taxes turn into the salaries of the tax collectors who in return come to squeeze me?”
