Today's big lie - inflation is less than 5%. Very conveniently they publish only the wholesale price index completely ignoring the Extortion Factor. This is known as the Service Tax. Started at 8%, it went up to 10% and is now 12% with 3% education cess. More other cesses are being planned and the tax is being extended so that every one will come under its net. For instance with the price of air fuel rising airlines are adding a fuel surcharge. Service tax is being put on this surcharge. Now you may think that oil is a commodity but for the blood suckers definitions are irrelevant. This year my chartered accountant charged me Rs. 1000 more because he has been put under Service Tax. So I have paid Service Tax to pay my income tax. Perverted or what?
I have a suggestion for the blood suckers. Put Service Tax on crematoriums and blood transfusions so that as more people die and are cremated the blood suckerscan really clean up and take their fat, ugly wives and brutish, drug taking children for shopping to Europe and the US.
The blood suckers think that the middle class is too scattered and disparate to challenge them but we can hit them where it hurts and that is by refusing to pay this tax. We cannot refuse to pay income tax because then they can harass us but we can refuse to spend our hard earned money.
We should cut down our perchases to only essential items and postpone purchase of things like fridges, cars, washing machines until the blood suckers relent. No matter where we are we can cut the taxes we pay. Hit the blood suckers I say.
