root of all problems
by ashish on Jun 21, 2008 12:51 AM   Permalink

we have been seeing this for so many years now. Salaried employees are being milked by taxing over and over again while the guys who really make loads of money in business get away scot-free.
Chidabamram atleast tried to tax the businessmen by imposing VAT, but look what happened ! It was simply passed onto the consumers. So, we now end up paying VAT on top of sales tax !
This is clearly not sufficient and more work needs to be done in finding ways to make businessmen pay up.

This current bout of inflation certainly is due to failed UPA policies. Don't let these swindlers deceive you by their claims that this is a worldwide phenomenon.
There is certainly an increase in fuel prices, but its adverse affects can be so easily mitigated by reducing the tax on gasoline and recover it from the tax-evading wealthy businessmen by framing and implementing the correct policies. Thus, UPA deserves all the brickbats it can get for royally screwing us.
I am not saying that BJP would do any better than these scoundrels, but hey, something is better than nothing, isn't it ??
