It is a strange choice to destroy such things of value instead of auctioning them and bringing revenue to the state. A poor country should not be so wasteful.

Sending a political message is more important to them. mucho macho, king of the hill!

Likely, those who sought to escape paying import fees would buy them at auction. P.I. are different.

I really like what they do to drug dealers though. It is better for society that they die, than live in a homeless encampment with free needles, completely living off the backs of the working class family.

A poor country should not be so wasteful.

Maybe a poor country should look for sources of beauty other than shiny materialistic bobbles imported by "elite" criminal a$$holes who think they're above the law.

completely living off the backs of the working class family.

How's that work exactly when 1s and 0s in the global "economy" are pulled out of the arse of the NWO?

"the backs of the working class family" meme only holds up in the context of an economy that's responding to the real market forces of supply and demand.

The Market, Isn't - and hasn't been at least since the wizards behind the curtain stopped publishing M3.

Duterte said that the destruction of luxury cars was meant to send a message to wealthy car enthusiasts who do not pay right import duties.

“You want imported cars? Pay import duties first,” Duterte earlier said.

Good idea!

Whatever happens with dollars, whether borrowed, printed or 1's and 0's in a database, the taxpayer pays for with time served on the job.

The value of Taxpayer's dollars is determined by the arbitrary value of abstract credits wafting through the economy. That value is set by those who control system that manufactures the credits.

That value generally has had no relationship to real supply and demand since at least 2006 - when proliferation of derivative instruments made it clear that m3, and the value of the dollar, no longer had real market value.

Of course the tax payer still owes credits as the credit manufacturers see fit. Is that fair? No, but that is reality.

But, OTOH, it might not be an entirely bad thing when automation further diminishes the need for human labor -- and a universal income renders purpose where none would otherwise exist.

What is the velocity of money?
