it fails to BUDGE me..........

There are mainly two reasons why my blog has remained dormant:
1. I am too lazy to blog.
2. None of the issues that interest the world, interest me. And the only issue that interests me and about which I have some knowledge, would certainly not be of much interest to you i.e. "the person writing the blog".
; )

What got me writing today ,are these lines by the Beatels. They are truly hilarious.

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the streets
If you try to sit, I’ll tax the seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet

Every year, the last two days of February, I m deprived of a basic necessity i.e. tee-vee. My parents would snatch the remote and shoo us away to watch a bunch of morons banging their fists on tables, rejoicing for some stupid reasons. (if you are really slow on uptake ,then I was talking about the budget). The budget never interested me, doesn’t interest me now either, n wont interest me till I m forced to share the tax burden n my hard –earned (read: negotiated) monthly allowance is taxed.

When I was kid I came up with two questions, which till date I think were pretty intelligent : ) .Of course you may not share my views (like my parents don’t n tell me they are pretty dumb questions and now that I m studying economics, I should be ashamed of asking such silly questions) bah!!
1. Why does the government snatch our money? Why doesn’t it ever think of doing some work itself and earning its own money???
2. Why does the govt. tax the people who earn and work instead of the people who do not do any work?? It’s like the people who work and contribute to the country are being penalized n those who don’t and are being lazy are being given unemployment insurance. What crap is this???

If you have any answers ,which you think can satisfy me .I WANT THEM.

And if, just like most people, you want to tell me that they are dumb questions.Dont bother.i will never agree..:-D

hmmm.. the questions are far from dumb actually and I'll make an effort to answer them but i dont thnk u'll find them satisfactory enough
1)See the govt as an organisation of the people of the country. Like every organisation needs funds to perform various operations, we as members of this organisation are obliged to pay taxes. I would also say that govt actually "does work" to earn money in that we have so many PSUs and shit which btw every1 wants it to sell off to the private sector.

2)People who do not do any work aren't earning money either. Imagine a situation where people who are earning less are taxed more and vice versa. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer(sounds cliched but...).

Although I have a feeling your post was in light vein, but I am in a preach mood right now and hence such a boring and lengthy comment.

well well well so you did decide to come back and revive your blog huh?

i refuse to voluntarily answer poe questions when i don't have to so i can't really write about anyting pertaining to your blog entry.

i can, however, write i lot of crap which will have absolutely nothing to do with anything whatsoever. but i'll spare you. so all i'm gonna say is, don't let your blog go into hibernation like you did last time round.

wooooooooo....... headspin.......
The Count's feeling like hes been thru a washing machine in a whirlpool..(or is it a whirlpool washingmach.. neva mind)

Nyways.. The Count an u r on the same boat here... never liked the complexities of budget but now since we r studs of economics.. The Count may have ans fr u..

1) the govt governs us... so if it works it wud defy the meaning of govern and thus every dictionary in the world wud have to be changed... which is difficult.. so it just takes money frm the public..

2) the govt taxes a %age of income.. a guy doin no work earns 0 money and any %age of 0 is 0...
so unless the govt wud like to go thru elaborated mathematics to get a satisfactory result after getting a % of 0..... The Count thinks it wud be better taxing people who earn something..

How do we know said...

Absolutely the perfect questions. I have been asking the first one myself for ages with no success.
