Helping others is praise worthy During this covid pandemic many a stable jobs are lost ,thus businesses, hospitality,industry , transport even self emoyed have to face the brunt Who deserves financial assistance is a matter of priority. The Govt has lost regular revenues and the debt burden has increased manifold .The price rise is adding to the woes of the citizens In recent times seamen want retrospective payment of pensions,tiatrist and musicians are on agitating path. Some hyprocrates are shouting from roof tops asking Govt to concede. Such politicians will not dip into their own pockets and are never known to be generous per se.. The buck should begin with you and not stop at your doorstep.The right person to air such grievances of the group is perhaps Mr Alemao,who has all along promoted and sponsored tiatr, Kon CD and his generosity is boundless While clamouring to show concern, it is the People who bear the tax burdens of mindless social security schemes Politicians want to take advantage for votes by being seen as the guardian angels. Many of so called facilities tax free emoluments, free electricity,water, postage, telephone, attendants, pensions,refreshments paid on National days at residences ,medical travel reimbursements ,subdised loans on cars etc are personal gains of politicians for whom politics is an employment avenue The point of discussion and under question is which professions ,or self employed trades should be left out of the preview of govt doles.
