Subject:Suggestion for proposed flood tax

Dear CM,

->We understand the gravity of the situation caused by sudden nature's fury.

->We have been generously donating in cash and kind for relief and rehabilitation.

->But inflation is taking its toll on the common man.You already know that cost of essential commodities like rice and vegetables have increased 2-5 times after drought and now floods.
In addition to this bus fares and passes
have been increased/costly.

->Cost of living is increasing everyday but not salaries/wages proportionately.
Hence its not appropriate time to impose taxes/burden to the common man.

->Inspite of all the hardships,we are duty bound citizens and hence have been supporting the cause of rehabilitation.

Alternative Ideas
->Please target billionaire politicians...
Many have declared assets worth hundreds/thousand of crores.

->Please target/campaign among NRI's and NRK's

->Ask for donations from corporates and their CEO's

->Keep an option that if those caught by lokayuktha pledge their wealth to relief fund then cases be withdrawn and clemency will be given.

->Ask for donations from religious institutions

->With these ideas we can collect 1,00,000 cr. not just 1000cr.

Regards
Vivek Kamath
