Nimantha I like to disagree with you from this that taxes are for poorer and not for the rich. Secondly under developed or developed misnoma is just for excuse. The taxes should be for every one and every one needs to understand its importance and consider it their debt to the nation but I agree that the culprit politicians do make it difficult for people to comprehend that poorer are paying the taxes and richer are not or even using these taxes for their enjoymant. But its basically the people who should be blamed for selecting those people the know as culprits.
Yes valid point nimantha.de but do you think the tax methodology in these countries are fair enough ? They tax for every single move we make and its only valid for normal citizens not for VIPs who should be really get charged for.
I don't want taxes in my yearly routine. I come from a country where, unless you run your own business, taxes are deducted automatically and you needn't file a return. Can you imagine? I miss that.
"Yes but most of the developped countries do provide Tax benifits to its fellow countrymen but here in the 3rd World you wont get any but have to keep on paying."
Maybe but we cannot stop or condemn it just for that reason. Plus we need to understand that we are living in a development area of the world. Others are in a developed area, so they have the resources to share benefits with fellow countrymen but not us.

True but paying tax is something which we have to do as a duty for the country we live in. Nobody wants to pay it but we have to and it is a day to day job which comes up with other stuff.
A discreet smartwatch sounds like a fun idea, but I'm not so keen on it. Aside from the security issue, there's also the fact that it seems like an extranous device that we don't really need. Well, I personally don't think I'll need it, given I already have my smartphone and tablet with me 24/7.

Recently, the Obama administration has been of two minds where privacy rights are concerned. On one hand, you have an administration that vowed to veto CISPA and mandated open data for government websites. On the other hand, you have an increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice on a fishing expedition at AP and demanding legislation to let the FBI wiretap private, encrypted communications and levy fines if a company fails to comply.
The apartment and house sharing service, Airbnb, now requires members to verify their identities by demonstrating a presence on the web, and by either scanning a government ID or entering detailed personal details. Other enterprises should take a close look at Airbnb's verification policies.
