Thanks to the budget

Published in The News on June 23, 1996

I wonder why some people are opposed to the recent budget.

After all, it's only fair that city-dewellers should have to bear the brunt ofthe additional taxes, for they did not vote for the present government. 

And if it seems that the budget is in favour of dacoits, smugglers and feudalists, why should anyone object? It's their leaders who made the budget!

Let's all be thankful that the heavily polluted air we breathe has not been taxed.
