I was actually born in Lahore and when I used to go back it astonished me how people did nothing until like noon.
They need a few slaps across the face and a lesson in work ethics.

It's such a shame that a small city like Islamabad pays more TAX than Lahore, which has 10 times more population.
Now people should understand why PMLN always gets elected from Central Punjab no matter what, cause they don't bother them with anything.

The whole Budget of Punjab is spent on Lahore but when it comes to Tax paying, they won't pay a penny.
Faisalabad isn't much behind in Tax evasion either.

They can do as they like, they just need to pay their taxes because the number of shops, business activity and malls it all doesn't add up to what they are actually adding in Economy.
One thing that is very clear is that if you can blackmail the GOVT you can get all the perks and end things on your terms. This is what happen today when FBR cut the deal with business community. When the time will come to fill the gap in numbers they committed to IMF, I wouldn't be surprised if they put more burden on the dumb salaried middle class.
