WE PAY TAX TO THE GOVERNMENT SO AS TO MEET THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC NEED OF THE NATION. AGAIN THE ACCUMULATED FUND IS MOBILIZED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT . BUT WHERE CORRUPTION IS IN A BOOM , ALL THESE TALKS SEEMS A JOKE. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PAY TAX TO STIMULATE CORRUPTION IN THE NATION. THE GOVERNMENT IS SAYING THAT HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNDER TABLE TRANSACTION INCURRED IN THE NAME OF COMMON WEALTH GAMES. THERE ARE LOTS OF ACTS IN FORCE GIVING POWER TO THE GOVERNMENT TO COLLECT TAX FROM THE MASS. BUT WHEN WE ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT FOR IT , WE HEAR A WORD OF SILENCE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. WE SHOULD LAUNCH A MOTION WHERE WE ARE NOT GOING TO PAY ANY TAX TO THE GOVERNMENT UNLESS THEY TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTROL THE EXPENDITURE IN WHATEVER NAMED CALLED. IT IS NOT TOLERABLE TO PAY TAX TO FILL UP THE PERSONAL POCKET OF THE POLITICIANS. WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MISUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT TREASURY, WHY HE IS RESPONSIBLE TO COLLECT TAX FROM THE MASS.

SO IT IS UTMOST ESSENTIAL TO EXECUTE A MOTION TO TEACH THE GOVERNMENT A LESSON. WHEN WE ARE NOT PAYING TAX , SEVERAL PENALTY AND INTEREST ARE BEING LEVIED ON THE TAXPAYERS. BUT WHEN OUR MONEY HAS BEEN ERODED IN THE NAME OF WORLD CLASS STADIUM, NO LAW IS THEIR TO SAVE THESE MONEY.

SO NO PAYMENT SHALL BE MADE TO THE GOVERNMENT , UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE POWER TO CONTROL THE TREASURY. BECAUSE THE TREASURY BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NATION, THE GOVERNMENT ACT AS A CUSTODIAN TO THE TREASURY. THUS WE HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST AGAINST IT.

DEAR SIR,

I RESPECT YOUR FEEINGS.

BUT THE SITUATION IS THAT NO INDIAN WANTS TO MESS IT UP WITH INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT OR OTHER TAX DEPARTMENT. INDIANS ARE ALREADY OVERBURDENED BY THE OTHER POLITICAL MISUSES E.G. CWG, IPL, FOODGRAIN SHORTAGE, ETC.... SECONDLY, OTHER PEOPLE PAYING TAXES BY SAYING "ATLEAST WE SHOULD PAY".

OUR INDIANS ARE NOW IN THE FEELING OF TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE HIMSELF SAFE AND NO ONE HAVING ANY CARE ABOUT COUNTRY. OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS CELEBRATE VALENTINE DAY, FRIENDSHIP DAY, AND OTHER STUPID DAYS. BUT NO ONE OF THEM WANTS TO CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY.

REGARDS,

MANOJ

Hello Manoj,

You are correct. I am not at all concerned about the Income Tax Department. My intention was to target the government who collect revenue from several sources and investment a gretaer portion of it to heat up the pocket of the politicians. Since income tax is the most effective wing of revenue, so I emphasised on it.

independance means freedom to perfom all such legitimate activities with the intention of prospoerity of the nation.

You see, we are trapped with so many tax net. If a person want to establish a factory, he will have to follow numerous law regulating factory, as if we are openeing an establishment in some foreign nation where we are under strict survilience .

you know on the basis of any suspect you can be arrested by the policemen. Is this the freedom , we got in the year 1947. The country needs revolution . And we all have to contribute towards it.
