HUMAN BRAIN AND HOW IT WORKS TO REDUCE THE TAX


You must have read many functions of brain. It helps us to read, write, walk, take, make love, sleep, bla bla and bla. Infact it is the brain that differentiates Humans from the other animals. Take away all the weapons that the Humans created with the help of the brain, Humans would not even be able to fight against a small cat. Whether it is eye sight, hearing capacity, muscular power, in all the aspects we score lower than our animal counterparts. But only this small organ that lies in the top of our body makes us the Supreme power we are now.

It is the brain that made Mahatma Gandhi, the great person he is. It is the same brain that made Nadhuram Ghotse kill Gandhi. It is the same brain that made Osama Bin Laden kill thousands of people and it is the same brain that made Mother Teresa sacrifice her life for the slum dwelling people of Kolkatta.

Ok , I don't wanna bore you. The fact his how we use the brain that distinguishes us from others. But what makes me wonder is how the brain performs exceedingly well for the common public, when it comes to evading tax. The same people who feel that their brain has stopped functioning when their son studying in sixth standard approaches them and asks them to help him to solve his algebra problem, do some great marvelous work with their brain when it comes to evading the income tax.

Ill give you an example to justify my comment. In a foreign country, a woman bought a car. In that country, tax for car is 40%, whereas the tax for the vehicle that carries dead bodies is 20% . She registered the car as the vehicle that carries dead bodies and paid only 20% of the tax. When the authorities enquired about it she replied that she uses it only for carrying the dead bodies. She added that she uses the vehicle to carry dead hens ( chickens) from market to home and its enough for her to pay 20% tax legally.


I could think of so many other ways by which people make use of their brains to avoid tax. But the point is that if they start putting at least 20% of that effort in helping their country, the world will be a prosperous place to live. Its time every one thinks about and reflect what one of my favorite leader Abraham Lincon has said:

" Don't ask what the country did for you, Say what you did for your country".
