It's about time we all collectively did something about PTA taxes. They're unjust and feel like a penalty for being born in a third-world country. Today, a cell phone is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Weather’s changing, and lowkey bummed I haven’t driven my Beetle much this year. Didn’t factor in Ramadan, ain't no way I’m cruising with no AC while fasting.
Afraid this country won't progress 'cause of our people's rigid political alliances. Criticize and get labeled 'youthia' or 'patwari'. Yea sure, criticism won't fix things either, but calling a spade a spade matters, no?
Every day, some policymaker wakes up with one agenda: to get people worked up, leaving incompetent bureaucrats to implement absurd policies. The M-Tag for motorcycles is needless. Fasting people stand in long queues, and govt has audacity to give deadlines. Clowns! #MTag
They're robbing us in broad daylight and calling it "policy."
Pakistan's salaried class paid Rs. 600 BILLION in taxes last year.
Electricity companies lost Rs. 213 BILLION.
Do the math—1/3rd of YOUR salary tax is going straight into covering these losses.
And what happened when people tried to escape this mess by installing solar panels? The government slashed net metering benefits. Because why let people find solutions when you can just squeeze more money out of them, right?
Here's what nobody's asking: Why aren't these losses being fixed?
Why is it always easier to tax the struggling middle class than to hold inefficient institutions accountable?
We work hard. We pay our taxes. We deserve a system that works FOR us, not AGAINST us.
It's time to demand better. Share if you agree. 📷
PTA taxing smartphones makes no sense, and the bigger question is how they keep getting away with it. A phone isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s a necessity. Yet here we are, paying a penalty for being born in a third-world country. Surreal.
Having relied on BlackBerry devices for the better part of my life, I am tempted to reserve a Clicks Communicator. However, the undefined shipping timeline has me apprehensive.
This has indeed been my year. Got married, landed a better job, joined a gym, and started playing golf. Looking forward to what the next year brings. Happy New Year! 🤞
