ECONOMIC PROPOSAL Santos: If he is elected as president Santos will not raise existing tax rates,

nor create new taxes for Colombians. On the other hand, is committed to improving the collection system, increasing the people that pays it like in the Switzerland economic system.

Mockus: If he is elected as president he thinks that under the fiscal deficit living public finances, proposes the creation of new taxes and increased rates on the income tax and IVA. The present income tax two ways, where people pay a fee of 33% and companies contribute 25% of their income levels, for its part will have IVA rates of 4, 8 and 16% depending on the class products and their relationship with consumers.

Differences: It is very noticeable that Santos doesn’t want to increase any taxes nor make more of them and Mockus really wants to do it. Santos has a very good idea in the taxes, but Mockus has something right Colombia doesn’t have enough money and maybe some taxes will be increased.

SOCIAL PROPOSAL

Education Santos: Santos wants MinEducación promoted through an education

tailored to the needs and demands of the XXI Century. It will not be a pedagogy aimed at memorization and standardization, but the promotion of individual creativity and thus discover the skills of each student. Also It will become a Parents in the auditors of quality of education provided to their children. The performance of schools is measured by the Knowledge and ICFES tests and set goals for improvement. The tracking info to the goals will be provided directly to parents of families by the National Government. Schools with unsatisfactory performance will come in "Improvement Tips," where they will receive specific attention in critical areas. The Government will give Santos a partial subsidy to vulnerable families for the purchase of books, notebooks and school supplies.

Education Mockus: When he was mayor of Bogotá D.C. he privatized public schools,

he thinks getting a privet education will be much better than a public one, seeing that in does times the education wasn’t as good as privet, so there is a possibility that he privatize public school if he gets to presidency, but in a point of view how can poor children go to school if some of the families don’t even have for the bread for each day and no on the public education is very good thanks to the POLO, they get food, books and supplies, and in learning they have English and very capacitate teachers. This is his 3 propose for education Substantially improve the quality of public basic education by building schools and colleges of high quality, increased study time, gradually shifting from half-time to full-time, the improvement of teaching practices in the classroom, manning of teaching aids, including libraries and computers in classrooms, and comprehensive cooperation between students, teachers and parents. Raising the level of public schools, so that their quality is rapidly approaching that of the best private schools.

DIFFERENCES Its very clear that both of them wan a better a education for

Colombia, but they have different propose and ways, Mokus wants to privatiz public schools making a better education, and Santos wants that in any type and in a creative and giving the supllies and book the students need.

Housing

Santos: Present in Camacol forum, proposed to double the number of houses and build 300,000 each year. Also poses encourage social housing, which is qualitative deficit of 000 units 1'300, through the empowerment of soil and convince the mayors that they should go after a common goal. One of the drawbacks is that local leaders, they behave as independent republics, so the proposal is a joint effort to integrate them, the financial sector and the private sector to do the latter will lead the delivery of subsidies, says. Additionally Santos reiterated his encouragement to municipalities to facilitate land and promised that if they do not have the resources, the Government will provide funds for the construction of complementary services (health centers, schools, etc). Another issue is that the subsidy rate proved to be an important mechanism to encourage housing. For this, banks will have to commit.

Housing Mokus: Mockus wants to increase the public budget for social

housing, resources and forms of subsidies and strengthen the capacity of public banks to meet credit demands, focusing its application in population with the highest deficit. The policy of subsidies for social housing will integrate and harmonize the different funding sources to expand its coverage and application methods, reduce the costs of housing production and facilitate access of citizens to adequate housing solutions. Also Promote associative forms of housing construction, through programs of technical assistance and support, in coordination with municipalities. The nation will strengthen the capacity of municipalities to improve their performance in social housing. In coordination with enforcement agencies must be monitored for decentralized management of housing policy.

DIFFERENCES Santos has given an exact number of housing and its very good but

Mockus want to increas the tax of the housing both of them have their reasons to say what they say.

Health Santos: So keep the insurance, but emphasizing to improve the quality

of services and ensure that the EPS cover effectively the risks its allies agreed in the Plan Required Health (POS). Work for a health system high levels of quality control that has a timely and strong vigilance on the part of institutions such as supersalud control; we will have a unique POS, decent, inclusive and sustainableand meets the needs of Colombians.

Health Mokus:We will make structural reforms in the health system,

based on a dialogue with patients, physicians, nurses, hospitals, insurers, businesses and health care institutions, researchers and local authorities to achieve an integrated system, with real capacity to coordinate different sectors that contribute to the provision of services, accessible to all people, quality, equitable and appropriate, managed in an efficient, well run and well managed. Also Seek to develop more effective prevention systems. Will revitalize the national public health programs to achieve greater impact. We will focus on compliance with the obligations of local authorities and the EPS. We will give priority to environmental sanitation (water, air, solid waste, soil) as a strategy to ensure the good health of the citizens.

Differences Both of them have kind of the same proposal but Mockus wants to

talk with the people of it nd change and like Santos is telling what he will do and both of them wants that Colombia has de best helth changing what we have now that its really bad you can go to the doctor and u can wait 6 hours and nothing happens if you are not dieing you have to wait.

MY VOTE AND OPINON If I could vote for any of them, I’ll choose none, I’ll choose a white vote .

1. I don’t like the way Mockus wants to make the education of poor people, because he is in favor of privatization of public school letting a lot of poor children with none education and many teacher with out a job.

2. The way Mockus wants pay the doctors, because their salary is not sufficient and the sum of money that he wants to pay them will not be good for them nor their family to be support.

3. That Mockus wants to take part of the money of the pension of the 65 years old.

4. The way that Santos did his campaign, it wasn’t original and he include President Uribe on it.

5. Santos is the contuinity of President Uribe and in his government there were a lot of judicial process that go against of them with the Falsos Positivos ,the Chusadas and Parapolitica.

6. For me the best candidate is Vargas Llleras, I think he is a good leader, had good proposal, a definite government plan, also he will combat the terrorism because has been a victim of it, and in 2014 if God allows it, he will be our president.
