I agree with Naresh, but am not convinced with Amol on everybody paying taxes issue. Why the farmers shouldn't pay tax. Why the merchant/traders shouldn't pay tax? OR Why only middle class salaried should pay tax? To understand the above facet, one must recognise that govt targets clusters of people for vote-bank. Farmers/Traders are easily identifiable community for them, but people like us who are spread out across cities/areas and who easily accept the govt rules without much hue-and-cry dont appear target segment for politicians. Also, you must recognise that development of giant developing nation like India requires huge resources and tax-money from 3% of population won't suffice to bring rapid development of India. Nextly, we people in Metro cities carry an image of village people as poor, uneducated and far away from basic resources. But, this is all myth and you should understand that all consumer goods companies are targetting villages for attaining growth target,as they understand that people in villages(Farmers) also have disposable income for affording their goods. If a country like India has to move forward, the Unorganised Sector taxation is must. Its only a matter of time that people like us wake up and start pressing govt to have wider taxation base of customers, else govt will keep us pushing to corners like the 27% quotas in educational institutes for OBC's (Target Vote Bank).
