our vote is not for sale

These days are SALE days. stocks arrived from here and there of the material and thread world including all fancy and non-fancy things, essentials now can be seen in the popular market outlets or shops or at super shopping malls , including road side sale outlets and all of those are there for you and for your distanced or close kin and kith, for fit-on purposes.

Depending on your budget you can purchase the outfit you want or the toy you prefer to purchase for your children, little, young or teen. 

If you have more money or at least enough of money you can choose your place to shop, independently or economically freely.   

Are we, the people of the country, totally or fully enjoying the freedom to shop or purchase in this both political, commercial world we live? 

i think it is something we must think about, freedom to shop or right to right or affordable prices, headaches free shopping or banking or saving money, in this glittery festive season. 

Ever since the very honourable democracy actively started playing the main role or actively entered into our lives price of something material or of objects or of eatable or drinkable started saying or revealing something about our vote, how much our votes worth or how much that it was respected or honoured. 

Prices of something always say not only about the worthyness or validness of our votes but also it says many things about 'achievements of economies of a particular government of any country. 

In a  tag of something (price or otherwise) that you purchase, you can read many things other than the numbers , if you think a bit, the country of origin for example and many other information such as the things it contained, if it is a garment, whether it is made of wool or cotton. 

what i mentioned above are something that we all know or very well aware of. yet some of the other important information that such revels, we often forget to memorize. That is the story of taxes that are attached with the price tags of everything that you & I purchase.  

Every bit of information that the tags carry along with the object or the cloth or any other material you purchase is no uncommon to  this part of the world or to that part of the world, it is common to every piece of land and its people of this geographic & commercial world we live. 

Unless you are an entrepreneur or a poor, middle income earner others do not worry or talk much about the taxes. 

am i wrong here?

But if you are a politician (except the ones banking big money), i doubt not, you talk about taxes very before an election like you talk or think about your personal health and wealth. 

For an opposition if a government raises the rates of taxes it is something very mind pleasing because all of them know that they can take such government actions or implementations, decisions as something to earn votes from people and or they know that they can use the tax policies, if it is not people friendly to secure their political positions in the forth coming elections. it is common in every part of the world , i believe though i know nothing or know very few things about how tax policies of other countries works or affect their people, entrepreneurs. 

who are these others i mentioned above by the way?

The rich.

But how does it affect the rich or middle income mainly?

if you do not invest your money in other projects or if you keep them still or muted in your banks without using them though the bankers very well know how to use them or earn profit from the money that you saved in their banks,  according to new tax  policy, you get no good profit. 

If the government charging high taxes from the customers that saves big money in the banks, the customers may request the banks to increase the interest rates that they pay for the money that the customers are saving in their banks. 

If they do so, the private banks mainly will have to lose some money or they have to spend their money, the profit  that they earn mainly among two categories of people; for the government as a tax paying entrepreneur and for the customers as their 'interest' as a trust-able banker/commercial institute. to earn it back, the bank will have to charge high interest rates from those who borrow money from them. i.e. from those who are seeking for opportunities to start small or medium enterprises.  

Is it something mind pleasing for a government who always worry about 'good living' of their people? 

If the customers started withdrawing their money from the banks just because of the high taxes they have to pay , the banks may face trouble in the future, according to my personal knowledge on the bank systems and taxes. if they started saving their money in the foreign banks our country in particular lose a lot of money and it may badly affect our economy, i guess. 

During festival seasons the bankers, we all know, use various commercial strategies to get the attention of not only of their regular customers but also of the other people to increase the total amount of money they own or have or increase their customer base. attractive gifts schemes or mechanisms for example yet what is the point doing so, if the money they pay as taxes is higher than the profit they earn from saving money in banks and investing the money that their customers saving in their banks, as entrepreneurs.  

i think that the taxes are both political and economical. it will not be easy for any person of the country to decide over their 'vote' in the future , if the current government very strict or do not think about the 'little person or citizen'  who will have to pay direct and indirect taxes due to your current tax policy and we like to remind you all that our vote is not for sale.
