lEL PODER AL PUEBLO? Articula 2. - Toda la soberania reside en el pueblo angolefio, pero al MPLA -su legitimo representante, constituido por un amplio !rente en el que se integran todas las fuerzas patri6ticas empefiadas en la Jucha antimperialista- le corresponde la direcci6n politica, econ6mica y social de la Naci6n. Articula 11. - Todos los recursos naturales existentes en el suelo y subsuelo, las aguas territoriales, la plataforma continental y el espacio aéreo son propiedad del Estado que determinara las condiciones de su aprovechamiento y utilizaci6n. ON PAYING TAXES Ley constitucional de la Republica Popular de Angola Tricontinental - Afio X. The Taxpayers Rebellion is not aimed against taxation itself. We realize public projects such as schooling, medical care, public welfare, etc., must be paid for through taxation. One reason for the rebellion is precisely because our money isn't going for those projects but for vast military spending. The rebellion is also directed against the illegal use of our tax money. The quarter of a billion dollars Lockheed paid in foreign bribes was our money, since Lockheed, survives only with massive government loans. Experts think the «intelligence» groups (FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.) cost about ten billion dollars a year but taxpayers can't be sure because the exact cost is not revealed even to Congress but is «hidden» in the general budget. Our money is being taken from us and spent !or projects we didn't vote for, projects that violate the Constitution. The rebellion is not only a protest against this illegal use of funds, but against the immoral waste of one hundred billion dollars a year on the military budget. 106 Win, New York April 1976.
