It is easy to say, "the government does not do anything with tax" - this is a typical middle class living room statement. Everything you see around you, the roads, the infra, the water, the law and order, peaceful society - everything is because the government does something with your taxes. Yeah, everything is mediocre and bad, and nothing is "world class" - but frankly, things have got better in the last 20 years. And things will continue to get better as growth and prosperity increases, and subsidy-leech culture vanishes.
I understand your psyche.
When I was in the profession, the world was a comfortable fish bowl of existence.
Now that I am on my own, with no support system, I realise the way one has to struggle and even fight to get one's due.
Those who have a comfortable existence with good pay, cannot understand the realities that hits the common man and having been a Rural Development Monitor, I have seen the reality to some extent.
Therefore, what may be trifling for you and your ilk, is not what is real India.
But I give way and let you feel that you speak for India.
I don't claim to speak for India, but only for a marginal part of the India that I am experiencing and the India that I interact with - the lower echelons if you will and call them the unwashed classes if it pleases you.
We also exist.
We do not have bread and even if you say we should eat cake instead, we can't. It is beyond our means!
Be Happy.
Hakuna Matata!
