9 million overseas Pakistanis earn Pakistan more income than 200 million local Pakistanis

Imagine if Pakistanis started paying their taxes, instead of cheating the system.

Pakistan would no longer need to borrow money, and would probably pay of its debt in a few years. It would also end up becoming very rich, very quickly.

? Pakistanis don't pay taxes in USD
 
Not surprising.
 
With a population of 220 million, Pakistan productivity measured in exports is very pathetic. This shows us to be lazy and without any vision.

Overseas Pakistanis ( myself included) send money to family back home from our savings. Yes, that 27 billion dollar is our savings that we send to our country.

Also, those Pakistanis living in Pakistan are those who would not mind electing a thief like Nawaz Sharif or his daughter. Just imagine the lack of priority they have for their country that they think a man who has been stealing their money is their benefactor.

I'm not sure what you're objecting to.
 

This is more a damning indictment of the persistent failures of the Pakistani system of governance, compared to the major countries where its expats are so much more productive in comparison rather than any measure of the quality, which largely remains semi-skilled at best overall.
 
Pak should encourage people to go abroad for work and permanent residency. This does it 3 favors...reduces burden on it by reducing its population, those people living and working abroad send valuable forex back home and lastly they act as a influence in the countey they go for pro pak policies and laws...india has been milking more than 50 billion dollars by adopting same strategy for years.
 
Unfair title when comparing 'earning' of the 200 million+ Pakistanis with the 9 million Pakistani sending remittance. Firstly, Pakistan's GDP maybe low but it is not less than $30 billion. Secondly, what Overseas Pakistanis send to Pakistan is not for charity--it is to support their own families. Since April 2004, I have sent about $115,000 to help my family members; I don't feel I have done some great charity for Pakistan.
 

26.7 billion is not what they earn. its what they are left with after paying for their household expense abroad. its their discretionary income

what they earn is 3-4 times that amount

Our tax system stresses an already squeezed middle class. The real challenge is broadening the tax base so that the ones with the greatest hold over the economy actually pay up.
