High Taxes, Low Services: Pakistan's Tax Trap & the Blame Game

Рет қаралды 6,818

Ай бұрын

We are the only country where our leaders - both politicians and bureaucrats - call us tax cheats and thieves. In every program they put in arbitrary taxes and accuse their people of theft; thereby, eroding trust and investment.
What are the myths surrounding the number of taxpayers in Pakistan, and how do these compare to the reality of tax contributions?
How does the discrepancy between high tax rates and poor public services impact public trust and compliance?
What are the primary areas where government spending is inefficient or unproductive? Government keeps multiplying offices (authorities/agencies etc.) without control or transparency.

Shabbar Zaidi Sahab is most intelligent, sane and rational voice i am glad to hear his thoughts on such matters.

Syed Muhammad Shabbar Zaidi is a brilliantly ruthless person when it comes to telling the truth. The last few minutes of this debate tells everything. He is a true patriot and true well wisher of Country and its people.

Shabar Sahab is correct that governments and economies are managed rationally, not emotionally. Athar Sahab's last statement was merely an emotional outburst. He should have behaved like an economist not like a layman.

Thanks for attending to this important issue. However no body touched the untouchables. Emotional Nationalistic outburst was uncalled for. In one such seminar kakar got emotional and got the top slot. 😊

Because there is a force which controls everything in Pakistan. They will be against it every time, it's called the Pakistani army.

✨ Excellent outro by Shabbar Zaidi. Pakistanis need to get out of this patriotic jingoism syndrome as it is not going to lead them anywhere as we have already witnessed this in past 70 years history of this country. Anyone who criticise becomes indian agent, ghaddar, mulk dushman, anti state, all this rubbish need to stop. People need to address the issues, injustice, inequality and identify people in authority and call them out who protects and benefits from these problems of a common citizen.

Excellent reviews however let's not include burucracy because they are helpless if he refuses always showed door by politicians

Pakistan has to a take a very ruthless decisions to get out of this quagmire. First and fore most is to cut the size of government including security forces, and utilize the surplus manpower in constructive work. Must control over population, ensure 100% primary education.
