Most people are tired of at least something that we have collectively agreed on. That's what democracy is. Just because it would benefit me personally (as an educated employed person) to remove the safety nets (and related taxes) doesn't mean I would want that. We set up safety nets, and people abuse that. We set up extremely complicated (often lobbied) tax codes, and big business are the only ones able to abuse that. Am I okay with it? Not really. But voting for some pompous populist asshole is not a better alternative. We're of course talking about the Philippines here and nothing else.
