I’m a salaried middle-class Indian, and honestly, it feels like we’re carrying the entire system on our backs while getting very little in return.
Every month, income tax gets deducted before we even see our salary. Then GST on almost everything we buy. Fuel taxes. Road tax. Toll tax. Tax on investments. Tax on dividends. STT on trading. And if you try to build long-term wealth through the stock market, LTCG tax takes another cut.
Meanwhile, what do we actually get?
Government hospitals are overcrowded, so most middle-class families pay for private healthcare.
Government schools are struggling, so parents spend huge amounts on private education.
Roads are damaged despite paying road tax and tolls.
Public transport in many cities is unreliable.
Basic civic infrastructure still feels broken.
The frustrating part is that the middle class doesn’t get subsidies like the poor, and we don’t have the loopholes or influence that the rich often have. We are just expected to keep paying quietly.
I’m not against taxes. Every developed country runs on taxes. But citizens should feel that their money is improving their lives. In many countries with high taxes, people at least get quality healthcare, infrastructure, safety, and public services in return.
In India, it feels like:
We pay first-world level taxes in many areas,
but receive third-world quality services.
And whenever someone questions this, the conversation becomes political instead of practical.
This is not about supporting one political party or attacking another. Every government talks about development, but the middle class still feels financially squeezed year after year.
All most of us want is:
Transparent use of taxpayer money
Better infrastructure
Better public healthcare and education
Simpler taxation
More accountability
The middle class isn’t asking for freebies. We just want fairness and value for the taxes we already pay.
Am I the only one feeling this way?
Most of us have tried selling used items online. You always feel at risk of UPI scams. If you live in a large society or work for a large company, you are lucky. You can post on whatsapp, or internal buy-sell groups. But everyone else is stuck dealing with spam and scam on facebook etc.
We wanted a space where transactions felt safe and respectful. So we built PeerMarket.shop The rule is simple - it is strictly for verified professionals. You must verify with your corp email to use the platform.
The website is live. If you had anything you wanted to sell, try creating an account and make a post. We will strictly NEVER SPAM your corp email. One email for verification, that is all we will ever send.
