What facilities do you get in return?
One thing more,
even after custom clearance, you have to pay (chai pani) the custom officers (HARAM KHORS), these guys wait outside your Godown.
Has the revolutionary PTi govt done anything about this @Dubious
Anyone who says that there's free ride in Pakistan needs to see a doctor.
The free ride is for the ruling class(including generals)
I get everything in return. Free education, healthcare, security, infrastructure, garbage collection, financial aid if I was poor, the day I was born I got these benefits, years before I paid anything in.
However everything starts somewhere. 200 years ago in the UK some people were paying taxes that built the foundations of the services we get today. Those people did not see those benefits.
I didn't suggest anyone pay tax to pmln or PPP. I knew the money was being spent on palaces, villas and personal fortunes. Under PTI, we have a new opportunity. If in 4 years time you decide they also only filled thier pockets, don't pay tax to them either.
But you can't expect services and facilities to appear suddenly in a country that is nearly bankrupt. The truth is people like you and me will likely pay for services that our children may benefit from - not us.
I say you and I even though I live abroad I consider myself Pakistani. Since I was a teenager I have spent my spare time on Internet forums engaging in talk abou Pakistan, wishing well, hoping for betterment. One day I hope for a country where I can move to and take my children to without the guilt of knowing I am reducing thier quality of life and thier future prospects and security. The day Pakistan offers the working man a fair chance is the day I move.
