Hi, everyone i know this question is different from what you hope. I asked this question because i am fed up with this corruption. Everyone thinks that the richest persons are
1. CARLOS SLIM
2. WARREN BUFFET
3. BILL GATES
4. MUKESH AMBANI
5. LAKSHMI MITTAL and so on...
But, these are wrong because in my country there are many POLITICIANS who are having lots and lots of money than these business magnets. Having 100's of bank accounts and no need to pay tax and all.So, better think about your countries politicians also and share the feelings you people have...

Money is everything to some but money is something to me. I use it as a way to make things easy and good. The face of the money will depend upon the user. We must let money work for us and not we work for the money.

Politics is a business too isn't it?
Who in his right mind would spend millions to earn a measly salary? Let's face it, the campaign expenses of politicians far outmatch their salaries and allowances given under the law (if its not in you country then good for you!), as such elected politicians will have to recover their expenditures some other way, and that is by stealing from government funds or by accepting bribes.
You are right, they don't pay taxes because they are running away with the taxes!

The Richest Man who has ever walked on this earth, has never payed one Centime of Taxes, and never will. This man does not know how rich he is, and no one alive can even estimate his wealth. This man lives in a Country all his own, surrounded stolen Gold and Jewels dating back nearly 2000 years.
No one can even estimate his worth! This man Lives in the Vatican, and is known as the Pope!

Such a list can only include people who are paying their taxes for money honestly earned. In my country politicians are not so rich, and except in some non democratic states, I do not think that you earn a lot of money in politics today. I believe that some traffickers are more rich than politics, but certainly less than these businessmen.

There is no doubt that politicians are richer than all those richest persons on earth. They have the public money which they are misusing for own benefits. They always live in a kind of guilt and fear of being caught. Although they can buy all those material things and take world tours but they are not as happy as a common man who earns with respect.
