Blackanomics


With all the zeal of the government/s to curb black money, the situation is getting worse or better for the one’s indulging in black money. Black money is primarily illegal trade, crime and drugs. Avoidance or evasion of tax payment is grey money. Avoidance of tax payments would reduce, if benefits were tangible with basics of equal healthcare, equal education, equal amenities of water and power, fixed pricing of essential food items, and decent infrastructure and transportation. Nothing is equal in India. Everything is disproportion, with haves and have nots. It is a feral rule of the powerful, with the strength being money or being in governance. Recent happenings have shown you can do anything with the power of money and being in governance, where you can buy the law, and get away even with killings. As Indians we should be proud, we have reversed racism where Black (Corrupt) Power and Black Money rules us. The only white who (indirectly) ruled us was Sonia Gandhi whose party can be traced to the genesis of Black Money.

Recent plan of one house for one family in Delhi to reduce black money infusion into real estate sounds bizarre. The other reason is depletion of ground water reserve. Instead why not restrict a family to have only two kids (ideal one kid). Give tax concession / subsidies to these families which would eliminate the root problem of India which is population. If real estate is getting funded with black money, then why not all purchases be done through an ‘independent body’. So if a house needs to be sold at X amount, they buyer just pays the independent body, where the builder has no choice of whom to sell. There should be no interaction with the builder, who instead should be monitored for quality and deliverables on time. Let prices be all inclusive so the buyer does not need to bother of paying registration / stamp duty / taxes, etc. It is a one window payment. Similar to when one pays Income Tax, it is paid to one authority and does not pay multiple bodies for which the tax money is used for. As each of these bodies in the real estate sector are just avenues of corruption and black money. If black money is getting funneled through real estate, so why not narrow the Black Hole?

Black money is primarily the need to fund personal greed of materialism & capitalism. There is no other need that can be met with black money. So if education is equal there would be no funding for alleged better quality of education which is in the private sector which is basically educating kids towards materialism. If healthcare is equal, then there would be no funding to private healthcare as anyways it is the same medication that cures, needless to mention the quality of Doctors administering the care. Unfortunately the educationists and healthcare professionals have no choice but to pursue lucrative private careers. Education is now a business of private coaching classes and private colleges / schools. Medication or hospitalization is how much you can pay to stay or be kept alive. So the nobility of the profession is lost and character gets Black.

Unfortunately the system is built to encourage black money. So if you pay black money for real estate the buyer ends up paying lesser amount for taxes as stamp duty / registration / etc. Same with education with capitation fees, where it is not your merit that qualifies you for a seat in medicine or engineering but how much you can pay. In the process one ends with poor quality of professionals who then pursue careers with just monetary gains and the whole wheel spins all over again. Instead of Black Money, the focus should be on Education which is Black, where minds are confused. Education is focused to which language you should learn, which religion should be taught instead of morality, what is history according to the party that is ruling, and not want really happened. In the process the core aspect of education gets darkened with children facing a Black Future, and resorting to Black Avenues of higher education and profession. Today white collar / political crimes are what fuels real crime. Financial scams says it all. The guardians of public wealth and the government who are executers of it are involved in corrupt practices where Black Money gets fertilized. The fertilization which should sprout Economic Growth now sprouts Black Economy.

If people could feel the tangible aspects of tax paid, he gets encouraged to pay tax. Tax is nothing but payment made for buying basic living standards. As simple as a man going to buy bread. If he does not like what he want to buy he goes to another vendor to get his quality for the price he is paying. Unfortunately with tax payment he has no choice, there is no other vendor he can go and get a better living condition. The vendor which is the government has a monopoly till the next elections, siphons the coffers, and if tells you if don’t have bread, eat cakes which is baked with promises prior to the elections. The only choice of hope an Indian has, is wait for the next election; and ink his finger black.

So you mean to say that the tax evading drug addict gang lord, whose cousin brother is the police officer, whose uncle is the builder, whose mama is the politician will all correct the system hopefully just in time for 3 more millenniums!!
