He said the nation’s entire credit system was based on trust.
He added that citizens will not pay taxes if they do not have the trust that government will not embezzle it. “When we say that there is a credit crunch, we are referring to a lack of trust. This has significant implications for the economy. Banks cannot lend to people when fraud is widespread, and enterprise and industry cannot flourish without credit.
“Citizens who do not trust that their taxes will not be embezzled due to official corruption are unlikely to see any value in paying their taxes. If people stop trusting the media, they are more likely to fall prey to merchants of fake news which can have a destabilizing effect on a nation.
And he is absolutely right...but the half witted individuals commenting dont have the ability to actually understand. Trust goes both ways...for the citizens to trust the government, trust must be established. That's why VP advocates for appointment of officials based on merit.
Reading beyond the headline, this is deep for me: '“Citizens who do not trust that their taxes will not be embezzled due to official corruption are unlikely to see any value in paying their taxes. If people stop trusting the media, they are more likely to fall prey...'
Trust is key to rebuilding our national values system.
