RE:Lopsided tax statistics
by sreekanth agneswaran on May 05, 2007 09:05 PM

No, sir... Its not like the paanwaalaas and chaatwalas are not paying tax... There is no question of paying tax, as most of the stalls are illegal! But the point is that even the huge amounts of money they are making is not going to their pockets, but to the pockets of the administrators! Because what they pay is the 'hafta' to the local cops! Even your thelevala veggie vendor does that! And these haftas are pretty huge. Now how could the administration let go of such a lucrative source of income!! So the system takes murderous but legal tax from the salaried class and murderous but illegal haftas from the stallkeepers.
