Why Rajini Should NOT get into politics? – Part 1 | Currently Globally Opinion

Rajini is an outsider. He is not a Tamilan.

An actor shouldn\’t become a CM.

He didn\’t voice his opinions on many issues.

He does not know anything about people\’s issues.

He is corrupt too. He got black money.

These are not the reasons why he shouldn\’t get into politics.

Che Guerra was an outsider to Cuba. He helped Cuba to free itself from an oppressive and puppet government.

Kalagnar is an insider and a Tamilan. He let our people die in Sri Lanka.

An insider or an outsider is not an issue.

Whether he can give a good governance or not is the main issue.

A teashop owner has become the Prime Minister.

Doctors, Attorneys, Farmers, etc. are in politics.

Kamaraj was the CM who didn\’t even complete the basic schooling.

If they can be in politics, why can\’t an actor be in politics?

If an actor voices his opinion about a social issue, people would say, \”You are an actor. Shut up, get paid, and get lost. You have no right to talk about our issue\”

If an actor doesn\’t express his opinion, people would say, \”You are making money because of us. Still, you don\’t care about us. You don\’t support us and you don\’t voice your opinion. You have betrayed us. We are not going to see your movies\”

You see, either way, actors are at fault.

For some, they are idiots. They don\’t know anything about any issue. What do they know? They are JUST actors.

For others, they are popular and influential. Therefore, they should use their popularity and influence to bring people’s issues to the limelight.

What do you want Rajini to do?

His job is not to talk about people\’s issues. His job is to act.

That\’s exactly what he does.

Still, he has given his opinion on the various issues.

We cannot expect him to express his opinion on every issue we have.

He is not a full-time politician.

Getting black money to avoid taxes is a crime. No doubt about it!

First, we don’t know if Rajini has got black money.

Even if he has black money, good for him.

He didn’t steal someone’s money like other politicians and officers in the name of bribe.

If I had a chance and if I know that I would get away, I would happily commit this crime especially if I live in India.

Let’s say, you avoid getting black money and pay taxes on all your income.

Who is going to benefit from your tax money?

In corrupt and developing countries like India, it probably goes straight to politicians’ and government officials’ pockets. In some cases, it goes to people in the name of FREE stuff like Fan, Mixie, TV, Cycle, etc., to make them lazy, and feel entitled.

It’s as if you are willingly giving your hard-earned money to a bunch of robbers.

Does this mean everyone should avoid paying taxes?

I will try to get black money as much as possible and pay taxes for the rest of my income.

If you don’t do this, you are naïve, you are a fool and you don’t know how to live in this corrupt society.

Be a Roman when in Rome.

I will be an Indian when in India.

It’s very hard to see people like Kamal and is very hard to survive by being like him. I don’t want to be like Kamal and neither is Rajini.

The same person who supposedly has black money pledged to give one crore rupees to the “Indian Rivers Inter-link” scheme. He was ready to give because he knew his money would benefit people.

By the way, I don’t know why people call it “Black Money” and give it a bad rap.

It should be called, “Smart Money”.

If I am supportive of Rajini, why do I say that he shouldn\’t get into politics?

I will tell you in Part 2.
