This is the right time to cut tax rates . The government has been able to garner more taxes in rupee terms than ever before . Prices of all commodities including metals , white goods and properties have gone through the roof . Government consequently has garnered huge collections in Customs , Cenvat and Service taxes . The poor citizen is left holding thin air in his hands . Government enjoys multiple comforts while citizens are slogging it out to make two end meet . Be reasonable before a wave of revolution sweeps away those in power into non entities .
