Black Money For All

Muslim Murasu, March 2011

Lal Krishna Advani raised the issue of 70 lakh crore rupees of black money during last election. But people turned deaf ears to it. Do not preach what you don’t practice is warning from the sacred text. God loathes him who does not practice but preach. Advani could have released a list of black money sharks in his party. One need not go anywhere to find the list of those who have looted staggering money in short period. It will suffice to ask a vendor who has shop on wayside pavement. One will get to know the list of new wealthy people and their bank balance.
From the days of independence, see the names of officers in banks, income tax department, customs, embassy and auditors. A good number belongs to a certain caste. Without their knowledge even a single rupee won’t go abroad or stashed.
There is no respect in India for those who pay tax sincerely. They don’t get any discount. They cannot construct three-storeyed or five-storeyed buildings or have lavish car or have a paramour in each district. Black money holders are known to everyone. They are flash rich people, patrons of extravagance, and are available in all parties. Each small village hosts black money. In the middle of average built nondescript houses, a veneer high-rise bungalow rises. This is black money.
Income tax limits and deductions are demonically implemented. Warm invitations are given to officials to peacefully and pleasantly manage income tax. Enormous entries and loopholes to escape. He who does not pay tax is wise. Demonic tax regime. No citizen, patriot, will willingly pay tax. Even when doing business honestly, one has to bribe and loose money to bank and tax officials.
Government, ruling party, protects black money. 10000 crore rupees has to be spent in election. Only black money will help.
Black money, white money terminology is wrong. New skyscrapers, new cars, luxury materials, jewel asset, extravagant marriage, foreign tour, cut-out bear witness to black money. Every Indian and Tamilian has black money. Let the auditors, bank officers, income tax officers love humble life. Black money will automatically perish.
