If cows are fed pizzas will we pay less tax?

Assaults on the middle class in India is relentless. Kerala imposed a 14.5% on pizzas and burgers. What is the reasoning? A study showed that there are more fat students in private schools compared to government ones in Kerala, middle class children go to private schools, middle class people tend to eat in restaurants, and junk food has been blamed for obesity in western countries. Ergo put a tax on junk food, pretending to protect the health of children and the government earns an extra Rs 100 million. After all, politicians have to travel to cooler climes in Europe or the US, for study, and civil servants have to be paid humongous increases in salaries as prescribed by the Seventh Pay Commission, to rule us. Never mind that studies show a higher incidence of obesity in poorer people in western countries and sugar has been blamed the most so that Britain has levied a tax on sugar. Sugar is as addictive as drugs, as Mexico has discovered, where consumption of sugary drinks are rising again after a 10% tax was imposed 2 years ago. The Kerala government has not bothered to study whether better vaccination against childhood illnesses or lack of exercise, because of middle class obsession with marks, is responsible for overweight children. Just bash the people, they cannot do anything for the next 5 years anyway. Haryana government has proposed taxes on marriages, cinemas and even foodgrains to pay for looking after cows. Why? Once cows are old and stop producing milk the owners let them out on the streets. These people should pay, as well as those who strongly believe in not eating beef. This tax will only allow the western media to mock Hindus. Then there is the constant assault on cars, because cars are owned by the middle class while the poor drive mopeds. The automobile industry constitutes 10% of GDP, generates $145 billion and employs 25 million people. There was the odd-even assault in Delhi when people were being fined Rs 2,000 if they drove on the wrong days by mistake although repeated studies showed no benefit. It did increase earnings of auto-rickshaw drivers, who are ardent supporters of the chief minister. Speed-breakers outside schools definitely increase pollution, but they are not being removed. The government has suddenly woken up to the noise pollution caused by honking and is thinking of imposing heavy penalties. Why do people honk? Because there is no policeman to control traffic, people drive wrong and potholes cause accidents. People on two-wheelers do not look where they are going, while zigzagging though traffic. Car drivers are always blamed for any accident so they honk to warn dangerous drivers. A newspaper has decided to join the bandwagon without any analysis. Not a word on banning loud speakers which produce much more noise and are of no use. Potholes kill over 11,000 people every year. Repairing roads and traffic control cost money, fines and taxes result in greater enjoyment. Journalists probably get a share. Bharat Mata ki jai.
