Born Free, Taxed to death

Born Free, Taxed to death

A little boy wanted Rs 50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.


Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs 50.


When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they decided to forward it to the Prime Minister as a joke.

The Prime Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs 30.


The Prime Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.


The little boy was delighted with the Rs 30, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which reached the Prime Minister and it read:


"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.

However, I noticed that you sent it through the 7 Race Course Road and those donkeys deducted Rs 20 for taxes"
