Mindset!

....it takes a lot for honesty I guess ....or maybe environment plays an important role too...
I am surprised by the mind set and how people dont hesitate ...to make money by illegal means...
this is not the first time though ..I came across an exporter (india)..(usually suppliers) .
...I was talking over the phone about the products and references if he could give any before giving him any contract...
....We usually ...see the websites and check details of these unknown people before signing any contract...or making a deal...
he gave me his website address and details ....I Went through the website ..he was over the phone I checked the prices,this website was through weebly which is free of cost ......he said being a manufacturer ...its jus a sample to our overseas clients .....
I asked him his mode of payment ....he said he has a/c in US bank ....I was little surprised ....he doesn't have a SSN..how is it possible....??
anyways something was wrong ...somewhere I asked about the receipts of payments after delivery of products ...he said "we don't provide receipts to anyone ...as we don't pay taxes, nobody payes here otherwise what will we earn??
I said "I need receipts and proper documents to file taxes  "he said "Madam why do you pay taxes there? "save and earn more"I said it a corporation ".....we have to show IRS...and taxes are MUST...no ifs and buts in that!
He said "I can send you shipments in form of samples "not for commercial purposes"and you can avoid taxes and make money"I said okay...So how many times will you send this as samples"(I wanted to see what length they go and use illegal means)he said "I have my people on airport and agents they help me in customs we are regular suppliers and we send as samples only not for commercial purpose! 
  he was trying to convince me it happens and very common site to avoid taxes!you will never get a query from IRS
..I told him"Well I don't want to go ahead and thanks for calling"
...what a mindset...?? Man if country people think like that ..what will Anna Hazare do alone...corruption is deep down ...its in the roots ...spread all the way to apex...
I mean honesty should be within and as motivation to build the country to bring out the best of abilities and pay the country their dues for the business they are doing ....
this is not the first time I heard from indian exporters dealing it indian designer dresses or costume jewelry..,most of them do this unless they have their head offices in new york or chicago...they try every means to get a top dollar for their products but pay no taxes to the country...(seems like ....I don't care Attitude)make themselves rich to richer ...and least bothered whats goin on the other side!
its weird!
nothing can be done until and unless this kind of mind set is there!!
its a shame!

corruption!

 

 

 Somebody had recently sent me an e-mail  of some pictures of india's ex-telecom minister rajas palatial house...

which could have cost ed the  national treasury up to 40 billion dollar....But seems like the corrupted Ex-minister wanted lot of money to build these palatial houses ....he is sent to tihar jail ...now he seems to be enjoying the luxuries behind the bars..

India's biggest ever corruption scam.Look at the pictures here ..its like straight out of a catalog...its surprising how  this guy had made money in millions and owned these kind of properties....

Police have since raided the homes of Raja, who denies any wrongdoing, and other senior telecom ministry officials and questioned them at length.hope..he never come out of that cell!

Think before you vote!
