Re: Pakistani army's '$20bn' business
If the civilian economy and the businessmen refuse to pay any Taxes, that would be needed to support Widows and Orphans of those who lay down their lives for the Nation, then Army has to take care of their own.
I don't think army doesn't care for the widows/orphans may be someone can provide details on that. What about those who stay alive (upper class of military) and loot the nation?

Sales tax hits every single person, why can't we focus on collecting revenues first instead of taking a short cut and hike the sales tax? With dollars flowing out in the "reserves" why can't poor get some break? Why do only riches get the break?
