A matter of taxes

Letter August 18, 2011
It is good to see the people behind the Tea Party being slowly exposed for what they are.

CHANTILLY, VA, US: Khurram Husain’s article of August 18 titled “An American tale in Pakistan” is excellent. It is good to see the people behind the Tea Party being slowly exposed for what they are.

As for Ahsan Iqbal, I wonder why the writer would expect him to say anything intelligent. Equally unintelligent is the claim being made by one party leader that if he is elected to office, all corruption in the country will be ended in 100 days. As for the PML-N, it thought that cutting taxes would get it more votes, or at the very least get people to pay more taxes. We know what happened.
