Yes my friend you I agree with you. All the people who prepare the budget sitting in a closed & secured environment will all comforts. They some how make the budget so that they are well off with their salaries and other benefits and end up paying less. They are the same people who talk of eradicating poverty?!!!! "Great sayers are not always Great doers"!!! Poor people are only a bridge for them to come to power. In this world people who talk, acted or wrote about poor or the middle class people have all become rich but the Poor man is still where he was before independence. Yes sure the British physically left the country but left their path for many fo our own leaders/ploiticians to follow their foot steps just for personal gains. Everything is borrowed and refurbished from their system.
