This is more of information that an actual sarcastic, witty, funny, quippy blog entry, which are characteristic of the one I usually post. *smiles for paparazzi*
On Sunday, L.K.Advani of the BJP said that, if they come to power, he would make sure that all that black money residing in the cold, dark vaults of Swiss banks that was dumped there by eminent personalities in India who just don't feel like they want to pay the required tax on it.
If you're wondering how much money is actually in there and if it's enough to turn this issue into one that might sway votes in the elections, the estimated value of cash stored is... wait for it... $1.4 trillion.
No fake.
The Congress already dismissed the idea of opening the accounts, even though the banks are willing to allow governments to do so. US and Germany are already doing it, and there aren't even any elections going on there right now so they can garner votes. They're doing it to get enough money to pull the countries out of the current economic slump and it has been estimated that if India gets the entire amount back, it can immediately put her amongst the top five nations in the world.
So after Advani's comments and the Congress's reluctance, you tend to wonder... What is our beloved Sonia hiding? *
I'm assuming you're smart enough to figure that out on your own :)
