Abolishing tax---

Should i or shouldn't i ? what does it matter as to which of the parties win in coming general elections since both have treated me shabbily.If that ford funded anarchist supposedly activists turned politicians--ak and co will cut into bjp 's votes it does matter.Not because i trust  all the politicians in bjp to be above board.After all politicians are politicians and they will adjust according to prevailing climate.But some of their ideological moorings is with the rss its parent body  whose ingrained image is that their loyalty and patriotism to Bharat is non negotiable.

so here goes .i had voiced my opinion in my house which is more or less like addressing the public that modi's campaign of constantly attacking Cong is futile since every one of us have similar antipathy ,a natural one against a longest ruling party and ought to counter aap's' corruption corruption' chant with plausible one's like emphasising on the removal of discretionary powers of officials as mooted by modi earlier.

The article in pioneer by G. mukerjee today is similar voicing my earlier  loud reflections in my suspiciously new found interest in politics  which naturally put a break on me  commenting on it immediately.However for reasons given in the introduction and  after undergoing a fortnight long agonising torture to give a clean chit to ak and battling it,and refreshing my memory with articles on it on the net again today this is my view--- From purely a public point of view without going into workable details ,the idea of abolishing income tax and various others is a very attractive inducement to  the electorate to vote  for the party.but the  young educated middle class specially in service sectors which is quite  wary of populism  may feel a sense of losing the stake in the nation building and sense of belonging if  income tax is sought to be totally abolished  and will need credible arguments  to  sell this idea..

What comes to my mind as i make this observation is the milling of angry youngsters in mumbai  demanding action against Pak terrorists by the govt ,since they felt that by being  sincere tax payers they had a stake in nations destiny. and  therefore every right to question the inaction of govt and in holding it accountable .It can be reduced even drastically but not abolished in toto.
