Drums and Taxes

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I didn't have my brain fully engaged (to the radio) and missed some
details, but there was a short piece on today's Morning Edition about
a new tax-collection method that's being used in India. They send a
group of drummers to the tax-dodger's home to play continuously
outside. After four or five days of drumming, a worth while percentage
of the delinquents pay up to get the drummers to go away.

haha...imagine the local jr high school drum corp. Or better yet...a
beginning heavy metal drummer. Nothing worse than really sloppy double
bass overplaying....
That's nearly a biblical torture idea.

Nice, but it won't work on millionaires who live way back behind
gates.

Oh please, not even close to a pipe band where the players don't know how to
tune their own pipes.

Or maybe the delinquent tax payer's neighbors pay the taxes, or get a gun
and shoot the drummers, or the non tax paying neighbor. Either way it's
sounds ( he he) like one of those
bureaucratic *looks good on paper* plans that is completely idiotic in
practice
