Money doesn't grow in trees. Is it?

A very important adage has been mentioned by our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh last week.

‘Money doesn’t grow in trees’ - True. Money is a community that better be earned. It is not something that is available for free. Better it never be. Because if it is, people would not work anymore. 
Now, let’s take a look at the situation under which this statement has been made. 
Dr. Singh has mentioned it to strengthen his government’s move on FDI reforms.

Let’s apply this to some other issues we face in India.

First lets apply this to the scams we are seeing all around us. As we have seen in 2G, there is nothing called ‘Zero Loss’.  Probably GOI may be able to recover the money from some scams (Coal). However, it may not be applicable where contracts have been awarded and work has started or completed (CAG, KG, Adarsh etc…). Money doesn’t grow in trees, Dr.Singh.

Second, lets apply this statement to the black money stashed in Swiss banks, which if retrieved can revive our economy. Even after knowing that the source of this money is highly likely to be illegitimate, why is the government of Dr.Singh not taking any concrete steps to bring it back? 
After all, Money doesn’t grow in trees Dr.Singh.

It’s time that we people of India; understand whose money Dr.Singh is talking about. It’s always the money of the non-ruling class doesn’t grow in trees.  The money of the ruling class not only grows in trees but also is very very safe.

Comment borrowed from my friends:

1. The voters of the Indian electorate will make Dr.Singh understand that 'Votes does not grow in trees as well'.

2. If money were to grow in trees, the UPA government would have auctioned it and created a scam out of it.
