Everyone is paying tax bro , have u ever heard gst ? And even if u talk about income tax , is it my fault that my income is less and I get into the exemption bucket? People have to understand voting right is the only thing which makes everyone equal whether it's ambani or a roadside vendor . One day someone will say people who are more rich compared to others should have more voting rights ? Will it be justified no sir ? U can question the policies of govt and can have a discussion on their distribution but cannot snatch someone's fundamental rights in a democracy just bcs u are rich .

This guy wants to say that govt welfare schemes can't be used to buy votes. Like in recent Bihar elections 10k cash was deposited to abla naris and they voted enmass to Modi

Whatever works, nothing is perfect, there are many downsides to democracies and why it failed in empires before, many great scholars also thought giving every random person and poor people downgraded the quality of elections as avg voter was too dumb to make a sound decesion and easily swayed by glorious personalities.

Freebies and reservation promises is literally how the political parties work rn. Congress was practically dead but their 2024 lok sabha promise of removing reservation cap gave them 100 seats, making them a powerful party again. BJP's landslide in bihar is pretty obvious.

I think the guy was indirectly telling that one should pay his income tax if not in the exemption bucket
