This country does not have decent social welfare schemes for its citizens, unlike the western countries where people are taxed and they are taken care of by the State in their old age. In this country, the hard earned money of the middle class is siphoned off (to pay for the misdemeanours of the politicians, their kith and kin and their coterie). The State does not have social welfare schemes for its faithful tax payers. We have to fend for ourselves in our old age. Like the European countries, let the Govt. take tax from every earning citizen and provide the benefits we need in times of unemployment and old age. Then the middle class will not be so incensed about the ever rising tax burden. BTW, the govt has a moral responsibility to demonstrate to us the tax paying citizens how it is ensuring that the non-salaried class (business class and black marketeers) pays its taxes.
