..everyone knows we are being cheated by the so called leaders.They are just here to live a luxurious life.they are so busy in making money that they probably do not have even a little time to think about their responsibilities or about the welfare of the nation.... Hope we can do something about it...

I think this mail is absolute crap...The person here is giving excuses for not paying taxes and discouraging one who is interested in paying them by blaming again our so called Netas... How long are we going to carry on with this blame game ??? Howmuch soever money these politicians eat... ultimately something reaches the people and the person in this mail is trying to stop even that... and again every day we talk abt nation being developed, providing facilities to the people..

As Ankit says let's not get discouraged to pay the taxes... It's our duty to pay the tax... and let's pay the tax... We all know what is happening in there.... and the worst part we are doing nothing about it.... WE are ones who elect them.... Let's take a little more interest in the election and elect the better one... if not the best one and hope for the best one.... You wouldn't believe me, one day i told my brother who is politics that i would like to get into politics.... and he said right on my face "NO" and said never think of it again.... He calls it a gutter... even my sisters think so.... I would like to do something about it.... But i have no idea how i m going to something about it
