@Akshat_World We are spending, and yet struggling, in doing things that our taxes are supposed to do for us. Cleanliness, Health, Education, Justice, Pollution - aren't our taxes supposed to solve these for us? No, but we are middle class. Being a middle class is a criminal offence in India.

@Akshat_World Singapore doesn't have any LTCG Singapore has only 9% GST Singapore has only 11-15% Income Tax But still they provide world class infrastructure with neat and clean roads. Everything is so perfect because PM and Leaders are honestly working for their own Country.

@Akshat_World That has always been the case. If you are tax paying citizens then government will squeeze you till the last drop. If salaried individual loses job after 2-3 decades of income tax payment then they are on their own. Harsh reality of Indian tax system.

@Akshat_World Sometimes I wonder if we should privatize everything—roads, MCD, public transport, water supply, electricity, healthcare, even education. Just imagine, wouldn’t everything work so much better? Let’s just throw out the government and handle it all ourselves.

@Akshat_World People are paying extra just to cover basic needs like clean water, air, safe spaces, transport, and quality education. It’s like we’re solving issues ourselves, but still facing high taxes. Makes you wonder where all that tax money is going🥵🥵🥵

@Akshat_World We are yet to reach the stage as a country where, we can demand from the government & directly hold it accountable for delivering a 'Good' life to every citizen. Till such time, we will have to deal with the pains of a growing economy... Rome was not built in a day, the

@Akshat_World I'd add insurance and private hospital expenses to this list. With high healthcare costs, many rely on private insurance and hospitals for quality treatment. It’s ironic that we’re often paying twice—first through taxes, then again out of pocket—to solve basic needs that public

@Akshat_World Maybe the issue isn’t just high taxes, but a system that leaves people fending for basics that should be standard - clean water, safe air, public spaces, healthcare, and quality education. Isn’t that the real problem?

@Akshat_World If we look at pre and post GST tax rates on various items, it becomes evident that tax rates in the GST regime is less than what it used to be in the Pre GST regime. Most of the items are under lower GST slab. GST on car is lower than what it used to be during Pre GST era. So

@Akshat_World It's true, people are paying extra just to meet basic needs, and high taxes make it even harder. It feels like we are managing everything ourselves.

@Akshat_World This issue will rise once more and more people start moving to metro cities. Hence government should incentivise private companies to setup offices in tier 2 and 3 cities so that people need not have to move to big cities.
