Thanks for expalining in a good way this time VB......you could have expalained in good way yesterday then aggressive way...anyway i got your points..... but only main thing i got concerned was last year when i was claiming for tax..even though i have a "good job" in a company and earn as much money as fellow indian who have the same job as mine...the things i came to know was they got good benifit from the tax......and i was the one who got like worst benifit instead paying for state.... .i felt like even though we are not the citizen why are we paying a hell lots of money??? i know that we need to pay tax i agree with it...,..but the concern for me was why those people from the tax treaty could get good benifit and we are the one to pay more for the same job........actually before this i used to give damn about it..and jsut careless about it... I also agree with you DC girl.......
