Change

Creating laws are very tricky and challenging. There is never a one way fits all law designed to work for every state or every country. Everything depends on the circumstances and current needs of its people and its socio-economic government. As what most lawmakers dream of, a society with functional laws and laws that are really created to serve most people and not only the few. We really need hundreds of law repeal. This may come off as an impossible mission but I'd say that taking a step by step approach to this goal will be all worth it when the time comes that our children, and our children's children will be able to take advantage of what we will be sowing today and I am sure that you'll all agree with me on that. Besides, what are we all here for? Isn't it to give a better future for generations to come? Let's make this happen and we can make it happen. There will be hurdles but a willing and determined society will definitely pull this off.

Tax Reforms


Many have given their opinion about tax reforms and how each one can help the economy start the engine for recovery. But what many Tax Analysts refuse to give their opinion on, is their probable estimate on how these strategies would fare for the economy. Nobody wants to be blamed for giving ineffective unsolicited advice and just to give you some points here, when I was still in law school debate is encouraged, brainstorming is part of our everyday lives. Some of you might have experienced how it is being on the same room with two lawyers arguing different points. You’ll see veins on their necks shouting almost as loud as their conversations. Emotions are high. But once they get out of the room, they go back to talking to each other in a more decent tone. This is effective brainstorming. Every strategy works, the only challenging thing is if it will deliver the result that people expect it to. Tax Reforms haven’t been taken care of because politicians take it personally. They are more concerned with which party they are working with and not with what the nation needs. If only personal goals are set aside and people just focus on what really needs to be done. Then, we are not that far from that recovery that everyone’s been talking about.

Law Revisions


There is a lot of law revisions needed to complement the needs of our times. It is sad to say that we only see this need when a person has been a victim of a circumstance. Why does it always have to be there should be someone to suffer before lawmakers realized that a law needs some polishing? This is a reality and most lawmakers wouldn't admit it but this is the real situation. I can mention a number of laws that have flaws that needed to be addressed soon and I don't want to get attention from lawmakers because they wouldn't really step up until something tragic happens. Our morning papers are filled about what has happened recently and I am not really keen to draw attention but I should say that right from the inception of this law, I already knew about its shortcomings so now lawmakers are pointing fingers on who to blame. I should tell you that the tricky thing about a law is people have different perceptions about everything they read. One might have a different opinion about what a particular law means and another would have a different one too. The most important thing to consider for one to fully comprehend what the law is about is to know its rationale and make a research about thelawmaker who drafted it then you'll know what he truly means and what the law serves for.
