I too do not think this move alone would solve "Black Money" problem in long term, but it certainly will go a long way in setting a better trend.

> You just alienated they very people who voted you in the office.

All govts till now have been doing politically right thing, rather than morally right. If a Govt., for once, tries to go beyond the vote-politics and do what's right, shouldn't that be a welcome change?

Only if the problem is inadequate tax revenue, which is not the problem IMHO. Its tax spending.

Not before coming up with better tax spending plan. I have never gotten my taxes worth nor I expect It now, irregardless of how much they take my money.

Don't justify your skirting the laws. Why don't you spend the tax you don't pay to the government to a charity?

I dont want to pay for what I am not getting. Is that so hard to comprehend ?

> Don't justify your skirting the laws.

Breaking laws ? That would be playing right in their hands. I would not give them the satisfication to confiscate my properties and lock me up.

Most of the tax goverments think they should but dont get are legally avoided. They have to be. Otherwise exodus would be catastrophic.

> Why don't you spend the tax you don't pay to the government to a charity?

First my money my rules. Second if the charties help me ofcourse I would for example EFF.

So please justify more of your extortion.

Brilliant. We need to introduce more Indians to the ideas of individual liberty and conservatism as it exists in the United States. By that I mean personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty. The governments in India at every level (starts from municipality all the way to the Center) have been so deep rooted in their corruption that its imperative people understand there are alternates to Big Government.

I would not describe USG as such. No government exploit small businesses like USG. Its the government that first adopted income tax in its current form and motivated other governments. But I digress.

In my observation only wars and natural calamities bring social changes. So the whole structure must fall down on its weight for people of India to see the light, despite it being delayed, it will come. Seeing the reponses here and in /r/india we are in full exploitation mode.

I for one not going to hang around. I have stopped thinking of myself as a citizen of a country but as a global citizen. If one country does not appreciate/respect me, I will move to another. See Flag Theory [1].
