Taxpaying: India's vision
This is what we honest citizens feel about our Governments - both Central and State. Please try to understand. We
aren’t really stealing taxes, rather this is tax saving (a bit of
evading too). This is to ensure security of our family, kids and their
future for any adversity.
- We bought Generators/Inverter in our houses, because Govt. failed to provide constant electricity.
- We installed submersible pumps, because Govt. failed to provide water.
- We hired own security guards, because Govt. failed to provide security.
- We send our kids to private schools, because Govt failed to provide good education in public schools.
- We headed for private hospitals to avail proper care and treatment, because Govt. failed to provide good public hospitals.
- We bought cars because Govt. failed to provide good transportation.
Finally,
after years of honest taxpaying, what does the tax payer gets in return
at the retirement, when he needs most to survive ? Nothing, no social
security.
Most tragically, all his hard earned
income (paid as taxes) resource is used by Government to distribute
subsidies and freebies in the name of welfare schemes among masses to
buy "free votes" to those who don't pay any taxes.
Now
above all what Govt do with our (tax) money? Like western democracies,
if Indian Government could provide all the above, why would anyone save
taxes ? Its almost clear that the major tax revenues collected from us
are consumed by Government officials and politicians (billions of
dollars are lying in foreign banks).
A
manufacturer works at a margin of between 2% to 10% , whereas government
needs 30% of his income to cover it's expenditure. How fair is it all?
That's the reason no one wants to pay taxes.
