he is not even paying taxes..
by Sathish on Jan 14, 2008 11:36 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I think as a student, and a minor, he only pays tuition to Oxford and not any taxes. Can anyone confirm?

Bhutto's family owns half of Pakistan. They can institute & fund a university in Pakistan. All South-Asian leaders know the power of knowledge/education. Then why are our universities still so badly funded and run?

Is it a conspiracy to prevent the common man to get good education? Right from Gandhi, Nehru to present day Rahul and Bilawal, all are educated in the west!

If these leaders are atleast patriotic, leave aside leadership, they will goto Indian Universities and not run abroad to qualify themselves.

For the high and mighty, not only education, everything else too is obtained from the West: medical treatment, for instance. Examaple: [From The Statesman, Wednesday, April 14, 1999] Former PM V.P. Singh says staying in Delhi is hazardous to his health. Mr Singh, undergoing prolonged treatment in the UK for his renal problems, has accused the government and the health ministry of not taking adequate care of his health, as his haemoglobin count had registered a sharp dip each time he came to Delhi. Mr Singh rejected offers of treatment from the AIIMS. In Delhi, Mr Singh refused treatment in premier government hospitals, preferring the privately run Indraprastha Apollo, where all his dialyses were conducted. %u2026 The former PM is in London for the fifth time in the course of his illness. His wife and personal physician are with him. The CGHS is paying a daily allowance of $100 to his personal physician, apart from taking care of his bills for stay and treatment. The CGHS has already spent about Rs 6 crore for the former PM%u2019s treatment.
The rule, as far as medical treatment is concerned, is as follows: if a VIP stubs his toe, [s]he gets treatment at Mayo Clinic, at government expense; if hoi polloi get bitten by a rabid dog or a cobra, or contract hepatitis through contaminated Delhi Jal Board water, they will get homeopathic pills.
