IMPOSE Heavily
by rock on Jan 20, 2010 08:34 PM

Impose as much as 50% tax on all the income of BCCI. It is not a charity and not doing anything for country's development and people's wellfare.

Hemant,
I pity people liek you.

Has common sense taken an early retirement ?

By taxing cricket matches, the government is forcing the organiners to take their business elsewhere. Think about the impact.

If instead of playing these matches in Mumbai, they will be played in a Tax friendly state...All the revenue is loss...

Reminds me on the golden egg laying goose story...

That will be great!!! It's time we get rid of this shit obsession with Cricket & only Cricket, no other Sport. How many working hours will be added cause of this, then.

a) people will then turn up for work instead of late - nights or taking leaves (as it is, the Indian Calendar is full of leaves throughout the year which people of all religions, though on one hand they will despise other religions, will happily take)

b) people will continue working rather than leave work every now n then or completely to have a peek at the score/ ongoings

c) population will be controlled as their late-nights will stop & curb other things too that get ptronised after matches.....

So u want a law to ban cricket ?

Why don't u have a law against people who sleep beyond 6AM and don't go to sleep even after 10 PM ?

Are you telling me that the people are stupid and cannot make decisions for themselves ?

This is how communists think.

I believe in freedom and letting individuals make their own decisions. They will make mistakes but will learn from those mistakes and improve.

Mr Patel go back to Gujrath , Mumbai is most popular city and we have nagpur also some more cities will get cricket stadiums What ever one may charge , tax or no tax matches will be played in maharashtra and if BCCI is governed by people like Pawar , manohar etc we are sure to get matches

Hemant,
I think to prefer to live like a slave as oppose to a FREE MAN.

This is not about Maharashtra or Gujarat. This is about the role of governance.

We have seen the inefficiency and corruption of politicians. Even then we want to give them more control of our lives.

Fool me once, shame on you;
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Thats exactly what we have going with the government.

I am a Maharashtrian...Born and brough up in Maharashtra...for atleast 5 generations...

Stupid policy...
by imran patel on Jan 20, 2010 08:02 PM

This just shows how stupid these politicians are.

They think by taxing these matches they will raise revenue for their highly inefficient government programs.

Guess what ???

Someone next door (Maybe Mr.Modi) will make these matches "TAX FREE".

Crickets matches bring in revenues for hotels, restaurants, ad companies, local vendors, etc. They bring revenue into the country of state.

Why on earth would you penalize that by levying taxes on them.

Government today thinks that it has the RIGHT to tax the people of this country.

We need less government.

Too much government has been the problem and impedence in our growth for the last 60 years.

Do we ever get any accountability as to where these tax rupees are spent ?

Guys think about the role of government before you think BJP VS CONG .
