When hard work and honesty get punished

If only people had that... I see a lot of people willing to take a piggy ride on others back. LOL..sorta live off others.

@vandana7 They do the same here.

Exactly. As if we are never short of money. You too have a great week Linda. Hugs.

@vandana7 Thank you very much.

We are already facing that. People want more so they don't do anything unless you offer more.

@vandana7 - I am noticing what is happening here with the Ukrainian refugees. They are here doing nothing from two years. They have no intention to find a job, but they are very good in complaining. I would send them back home.

Some of the days I worked right through nights and more than 8 hours the following day. Yeah, it was extremely tiresome, but there were never any defaults. People are simply not prepared to work hard anymore. That is because governments offer freebies.

Was it Sam Pitroda who said middle class must be taxed more or something to that effect? I feel like buying a Kalishnikov, and eliminating each and every politician we have.

Giving free homes is the worst ever. Government requires money for various infrastructure works. When homes are given away free along with the land, the person builds three to four rooms on it, then lets out, and lives happily ever after. Doesn't have to work. Whatever he earns, he lends at exorbitant interest rates, 36 percent per annum, to be precise. With no income tax returns, he is still poor! The rooms he builds house families and then he pilfers power, and causes strain on the infrastructure. You wanna tell me giving homes to poor is great? Nope. Build flats instead, with proper planning. Give them on subsidized rent ...if the going rent is 5000 per room, give it for 2000. This concession is given only once in lifetime. Every citizen is entitled to it, provided he or she falls in some income bracket. Even then, the person is only entitled to it for only 12 years of his life. Get your act together, work! Nation cannot survive on taxes of folks like us. Rental income does not contribute to GDP. Nor does the 36 percent interest per annum on which no tax is paid. And poor could be poor because they have too many kids, or because they are lazy or drunkards....that is why there has to be a sense of equity with respect to honest taxpayer...and so he too should be entitled to that 12 years subsidized rental accommodation if ever his income falls below the minimum level. This will make many people more dynamic as their responsibilities are lower with them and their spouse together being entitled to 24 years of subsidized rent. One reason I am unhappy about CAA...they want to call Pakistani Hindus here, they also want to give them free houses.................... That will lead to resentment among locals...after all, they have worked hard here, and not managed to get a house, whereas the Pakistani Hindu gets a house without contributing to nation's wealth!!! Who knows whether they were rapists, or gamblers in Pakistan. Once all Hindus are brought out, will it be possible for us to get any information about what is brewing in Pakistan? And then there are mujahirs and Ahmediyas. They are also persecuted in Pakistan. We have received their help - intelligence service. But if we don't help them will we have sustained information coming our way from them? Why would they help, if we are not willing to help them? Truly myopic leaders...past as well as present.

@vandana7 Sad but true!!

All they do is for vote banks. They wish to win not by merits but by bribes.
