Think equitably
by SIVASIS SARKAR on May 26, 2008 07:14 PM   Permalink

The comment, "If one has money enough to buy a car, one must have commitment enough to contribute to the nation's good and therefore the car owners should pay differential petroleum surcharge " is a thoughtless one. The way this one sided thought is presented, "The government should not hesitate", shows further thoughtlessness. The author seems to forget that the a person affords a car from his income after paying taxes. Once tax is paid the payee has accountably done his share of "nation's good". The income left over is for him to spend for his own benefit. The author may not hesitate to pass any comment whatsoever, we seem to be lucky that the Government still have some hesitation (read thoughtfulness) left. Could we, therefore expect some hesitation please before some uncalledfor judgment is passed!
