Tax Concession to Corporates

​
--- The Incognito Subsidy Scam



In the Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said Tax exemptions and incentives to corporates have resulted in a revenue impact of Rs 62,398.6 crore to the exchequer in 2014-15, 8 per cent higher than the previous fiscal.


This does not come as a surprise because it is the very nature of The State to provide overt tax & covert privilege to those it wants to reward, and provide covert tax & overt privilege to those it intends to cheat. In India the elite is overtly taxed & covertly privileged (income tax v/s subsidized gas, energy, indirect tax structures) whereas the poor are overtly privileged & covertly taxed (various subsidies, schemes, NREGA, v/s everyday consumables are heavily taxed). 

There are two classes of people in the Indian Economy :- 1) The villager, proletariat, manufacturer of basics, below poverty line. 2) The urban, intellectual, elite, industrialist, above poverty line. We need an economic policy which encourages the former even if it is partially adverse towards the latter. Unfortunately, our economic policies are encouraging the latter more than the former.

The result of this policy is that economic disparity has grown rapidly. Rich have grown rapidly and poor have grown slowly. This disparity is incessantly increasing. The statistics of the Indian development reflects that 33% of the proletariat have grown at 1% and the elite 33% have grown at 17%. The government proclaims the mean growth rate at 9%. 
​​
This increasing economic disparity is the reason behind public discontent. The solution to this vicious cycle is to reverse this trend by taxing energy heavily and freeing consumables from tax vice because it is a misconception that cities pay more tax than villages. 70% of India is rural dweller and their everyday consumables are taxed.

मुमुक्षा = Power Decentralization G uardians O f D ecentralization's   E ndless Z eal आदि शंकराचार्य ने हर चैतन्य के 5 चरित्र बताए 1. सत् = न मरने की इच्छा 2. चित् = नया ज्ञान हासिल की इच्छा 3. आनंद = सुख की इच्छा 4. मुमुक्षा = स्वतंत्र होने की इच्छा 5. ऐषणा = दूसरे पर प्र ​ भाव डालने की इच्छा     पहला सत् या जीवन -लंबे समय तक सभी मनुष्यों को प्राप्त नहीं था क्योंकि समाज में मत्स्य न्याय के चलते ताकतवर कमजोरों को मार देते थे, जैसे राक्षस या हिटलर मारते थे । समय के साथ आज अपवादों को छोड दें तो औसत मानवता को सत् मिल गया है, जीवन जीने का हक़ मिल गया है।     दूसरा चित् या ज्ञान भी लंबे समय तक लोगों को उपलब्ध नहीं था, समाज में कुछ ही लोग गुरु होते थे, बाकी सब जानकारी हेतु गुरु पर निर्भर। पहले 15 वीं सदी में प्रिंटिंग प्रेस के चलते और आज सूचना क्रांति के बाद ज्ञान सर्वसुलभ हो गया है, हर किसी के फोन में दुनिया भर का ज्ञान मौजूद है।     तीसरा, आनंद के लिए भौतिक वस्तुओं की, धन की जरूरत होती थी, पर दास प्रथा आदि के चलते बडी आबादी दरिद्र होती थी। 21वीं सदी आते आते...

Cockroach Playbook: Anticipatory Guidance

  Cockroach & Crossbar Task There was intense structural cognitive dissonance captured today in the Cockroach protest. The collective psyche of youth Cockroaches, labeled as a mere parasite, embraces the mascot of absolute survival to resolve  friction. This is not mere political unrest; it is a manifestation of raw psychological resilience of students managing systemic trauma through creative externalization First Principles of Systemic Deceleration & Psychology of Flight      Every systemic crisis leaves a hidden trail of kinetic momentum. When the world stops suddenly, we do not all land in the same place. In fact, some of us are left traveling in mid-air.      A competent driver navigating a sports car down a narrow alley knows his machine can hit 100 mph. He also knows the walls are tight, visibility is low, and stopping safely requires latitude. Therefore, he restrains the engine, moving at a cautious 20 mph. He understands that powe...

The Age of the Mental Human

People who never met  impacting the 🌍 "Watch 2 minute TV interview snippet above, or read the full core thesis below." Iran’s recent conflict was the first truly impersonal war humanity has ever witnessed. Fifteen countries were involved. More than 100 days of death and destruction passed. Even kids killed. Grief -sadly yes, closure -regrettably no, justice -gone for a toss.  Why ? Because, not a single human soldier set foot on enemy territory. No land was seized. No physical resources were captured. The war did not take place on land, on water, or in the air. Iran sustained itself through missiles. This was a war waged in space and silicon. Destruction at a Distance Without ever meeting physically, humans can now destroy one another.  Strangely, when peace arrives, physical interaction is equally absent. The Presidents of the United States and Iran signed a peace MoU online. Two digital signatures. Destruction and construction no longer require physical proximity. I...
