No, you are not the "tax payer"! You are a savarna parasitic worm!

Large portion of the upper-middle class of India call themselves "tax payers" and think their money runs the country. As we will see, this is nothing but narcissistic bullshit. "Their" money is NOT running the country.

- income tax is only one type of tax in the income of central govt

- indirect taxes (GST) are a major portion of Central Government Income, which is mainly paid by poor of India

- Direct Tax is only 47% of Total Tax; Direct Tax is only 6% of GDP

- govt steals money and resources of the nation, funnelling it to Adani-Ambanis; This trickles down to the upper classes; A portion of this is what comes up as "Income Tax"

- consumption pattern of the upper-class only serves import, not labor intensive industries; hence increasing income of upper class is not beneficial to the development of India
