Taxes are levied for income re-distribution. And this re-distribution job is done by the government. It taxes the rich for benefit of the poor. But when the benefit flows to the government itself, responsible taxpaying citizens are bound to feel cheated. In short, citizen tax enriches the government and not the poor. This is the face of Indian politics. Take the case of Karnataka. Recently, Rs 50 m have been used to buy luxury cars for the ministers of Karnataka. Not that these ministers don't deserve any benefits for serving the nation. But was this expense really needed? It may be noted that Congress came into power in Karnataka recently. The cars that the BJP ministers used previously are in good shape and condition. Hence, the new expense on cars is questionable. More questionable is the state department's policy which provides for allotting new cars every time the government changes! Any minister can also change his car if he wants to in every 3 years. And mind y ou all this money comes from the tax payers' pocket. At a time when most people in India are living below poverty line ruining tax payer's money on such luxury items is questionable. These ministers work for the society in general. Hence, they need to be frugal.
