So
Some rich guy's corporation got dunked by the country it was located in
Well a part of me feels VERY VERY VERY happy but another part of me feels very very scared & Saddened ....
WHY am I so happy you ask ?
Well the answer is simple, I am from India I earn around 10000 a month doing small freelance stuff online oh & that's 10k INR which is 140.4 EURO
Out of this every month I am supposed to pay around 5k - 7k (INR) a year as tax (water, electricity, income etc etc)
WHICH is a really tough strain on my economic conditions.
The place where I live - it takes around 30 minutes to reach the main railway station or the main road and this is by auto (a form of taxi) Every year they collect the taxes from us claiming to improve the roads here, they promise to build a new Metro Railway station near by and they promised to increase wages and decrease food expenses. I am sure this is done in almost every country & in almost every country's small poor guys (like me) suffer.. I m only 21 but I ve been hearing these promises for the last 15 years or so ..
Does this mean that the tax my dad & I have been paying so far has NOT been utilized by the government to improve the social infrastructure ?
The Answer to that is YES - THEY HAVE IMPROVED the infrastructures. But the infrastructures they improved are not meant for us or the small town I live in, The 'improved infrastructure' and roadways are meant for
BIG and MEDIUM sized companies in the center of the city !
These companies have had modern roadways built around their offices, new railway stations built closeby to these multinationals so that their employees can commute in a better way .. hell they even decorated the river banks & created new parks to 'create a better scenery' but all these are in and around these multinational companies .. OUR governments took OUR money and made life easy for companies like these while we still suffer from 3 - 4 hours of load shedding(s) and power outages every day of the summer season, while the people who live in the center of the city (& close to these companies) only face 3 - 4 load shedding(s) and power outages hours every week.
So thats why every time a big company like the OP's gets looted by the hosting government I feel kinda pleased and it feeds my appetite for revenge in a certain way.
But this also scares me (& saddens me because of the obvious money/job loss) if such power houses can get looted by these governments, how easy would it be for these governments to fuck us - the little people - up.
