When the country is going through a crunch like this, additional taxation may be the answer: Mythili Bhusnurmath

kukdoo pehle hi murga bunn raha hai hamaara aur tu aissi thread le aaya…

suggestion like this always comes up now and then, I would say in my opinion , these are stupid and idiotic, how much tax will they collect from these. I read the article , she is saying tax the people who are having stocks, ok, what percentage of India have stocks or mutual funds. There are already  short term capital gain and long term capital gains tax, you want to charge over and above that. Fine , then how many are eligible for that, well only the super rich. Good luck in getting taxes from them…

In a country where if you earn Rs 25000 , you are in the top 10% and roughly 2-3 % invest in equities, this suggestions are very “intelligent” ones.

The government should tax the ultra rich. They have been accumulating enormously unequal wealth.
