An old one forwarded to me but worth a repeat as it is topical.

Someone should send it to Arnab Goswami to suggest a debate on the subject of freeloading common to members of all political partiesm

Subject: Palkhiwala on his dog and Politician

Late Nani Palkhiwala, the eminent Indian lawyer, wrote on 16 January 1984.

"The picture that emerges is that of a great country in a state of
moral decay. The immediate future seems to belong to the doomsayers rather than to cheer mongers. We suffer from a fattydegeneration of conscience, and the malady seems to be not only persistent but prone to aggravation. The life style of too many politicians and businessmen bears eloquent testimony to the truth of dictum that the single minded pursuit of money impoverishes the mind, shrivels the imagination and desiccates the heart.

The tricolour fluttering all over the country is black, red and scarlet - black money, red tape and scarlet corruption."

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day

He has his food prepared for him

He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.

His meals are provided at no cost to him.

By the way he does not need to pay for medical insurance He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
>>>
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
>>>
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free.

He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head.......

My dog is like the Indian POLITICIAN

The difference is, he is honest & grateful for what he has…….
