Dear Sirs
Thank you so much for increasing the prices of petroleum products, after the shortage of edible commodities this increase is like a cold breeze in hot summer, specially your new gift to the nation at the start of the fiscal year 2008-09 by increasing the CNG prices to 31%, we as a nation sincerely appreciate your efforts to support us.
Dear Sirs, we further suggest the following measures to be taken in the broader interest of the nation as soon as possible, the way the nation is enjoying the following benefits, is not the right of this nation and it also hurt your efforts for the stability of economy.
Your kind attention to the following will help to strengthen the economy of the country;
- Breathing - The tax may please be imposed on breathing.
- Eating - The tax may please be imposed on the eating 2 meals a day, (Because of the strong economy now the nation do not afford to eat 3 meals).
- Drinking of Water - The tax may please be imposed on drinking more than 2 glasses daily, additionally taking bath more than once a month should be Taxed
- Clothing – Wearing Cloths may please be taxable and additional tax on changing the suits/shirts on daily basis.
- Travelling - Journey through the public transport should be allowed once a day, means if someone comes to work by bus/rail he should not be allowed to use the same for going back, when the nation will start to walk back to homes it will help to keep them healthy.
- Birth – Tax may please be imposed on the birth of every child, the tax should be the 10% of the monthly wage rate of the father and if the mother is a working woman, she will also have to pay 10% of her wage, it is also suggested that this tax should be increased 20% to 30% on every additional birth.
- Death – A death tax may please be imposed on every person who dies, an additional tax is also suggested to the suicidal or accidental death.
There are so many other items that are still identifiable and we will try to let you know as soon as we realize the taxability of those.
Now at the end we recommend to award “Nishan-e-Haider”, “Tamgha-e-Khidmat” to the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Shaukat Aziz and his team for the efforts they made to revive the dying economy of Pakistan.
An increase of 100% in the packages of Members of Assemblies / Ministers and other officials is also suggested, it will help them to serve the nation better, after all we have to take care of the interests of the nation.
Thanking you in advance
Pakistani Nation

This is a brilliant article. Mr. Minhas has really given a brilliant idea for our leaders to run the economy in a much smoother way. They needed this kind of support from us. Even though they are trying their level best to make us light by making us get rid of our souls,but we are “unfortunately” putting up a fight. So,adding to what this article suggests, ‘ o! people of this great nation,its the survival of the fittest now’

Yes, indeed! How dare we enjoy these benefits without paying homage to the government which has blessed us in more ways than we can count??? Or even better…why doesn’t the government just pimp us to the U.S. (like it always has) and help us get lose the last straw of sovereignty that we are so selfishly enjoying. How vain are we??? A leash has got to be put on the masses! I agree with Mr. Mehmood… it IS the survival of the fittest! If you don’t know how to survive in the society, you don’t deserve to live. Oh, I’m sorry. Did you say that you were fit and would have survived had you not been blown up by the bomb?? Tch, well…you have to be fit AND lucky, sweetie. Your bad, must’ve been karma. You should learn something from our government, that never does ANYTHING wrong! Long live, the Government of Pakistan! All hail, the Government of Pakistan…we hope you are able to present your humble faces in the court of Allah and boast about how much good you have done for Pakistan.

It is definitely a good effort, for the sake of poor lot. More the situation becomes difficult, more the poor people would become used to it and would not complain:
Ranj say kho gar ho insan to mit jata hei ranj
Mushkilein paRin mujh peh itni keh asaan ho gaein
It is however not clear whether our people would slip off the global arena quietly or take these bastards along.
Who cares?
May Allah pass on a small lump of shame through the throats of these rogues, who call themselves saviours of the nation.
