I am a huge fan of you Anand!<br />Anyways I have to say 1 thing- I just read this in Teachings of Queen Kunti(purport to verse 4)<br />Srila Prabhupada actually says that we should not be concerned with economic development.(This statement stunned me - I always thought we should do our duty for maintaining our body, family etc - but Prabhupada is very clear and very forceful regarding this point-do read the purport) Krishna provides for everybody from the elephant to the ant so humans do not have to be concerned about this. And frankly, the entire above discussion just goes to show how, even if humans attempt at economic development, somebody always loses. Only God's plans can be perfect.Shweta Shettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590478398549203739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932243451166392836.post-6334347368672710642009-09-02T20:43:02.247+05:302009-09-02T20:43:02.247+05:30OK...i know y'all can attack me on moral groun...OK...i know y'all can attack me on moral grounds-the country that providez you and all that... :-) allrite i'll put it a lil differently. AFTER declaring all my assets and honestly paying my taxes, if i wanted to store money for the future, and wanted max value of the money after 'x' years, wouldn't i deposit where they gimme most privacy, decent interest rates, and no bother? [All purely idealistic theory, of course, but then it IS the theory behind the Swiss banks!]Vipluvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776621766713238942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932243451166392836.post-64759484089976887972009-09-02T20:34:32.723+05:302009-09-02T20:34:32.723+05:30lolz...guyz...i gotta say i agree with like only h...lolz...guyz...i gotta say i agree with like only half the stuff you guyz are saying. Forgive me if i sound callous...but the Swiss accounts themselves dont really seem like a problem to ME! Look...if i had loadz of money i waz earning...and wanted sumwhere to store it...i WUD look for the least tax hassles i cud get rite? So az much az possible of that money cud be kept with me? The Swiss were smart...they saw this simple fact...and came up with a beautiful system. Ain't THEIR fault that people misuse it iz it? They unbiased, impartial bankerz doing their jobs for, as Anand rightly sayz, all-round development out there! You wanna shout, shout at the Politicos storing black money...why blame the poor Swiss? Or doesn't a country with meagre natural resources [not strictly true, that!] get to earn money?

But what they don't 'choose' to realize is - on a more ideal note - that Switzerland makes merry out of their deposits. But, they too don't have much of a choice cause they either let the Swiss benefit and let their personal savings be secure or they don't loot the country per se.anand108https://www.blogger.com/profile/11664819957065403022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932243451166392836.post-71062142889886531122009-08-26T20:06:16.074+05:302009-08-26T20:06:16.074+05:30Really great.
