Show Notes
Why do Indians pay the highest taxes but get the worst roads? 🛣️ Where does all the tax money go?
Every time you fill your tank, more than half of what you pay is tax.
India collects over ₹5 lakh crore every year from fuel alone. 💸
Yet the ground reality:
✔ 3,000+ deaths every year linked to potholes 💀
✔ Around 40% of roads are not all weather 🌧
✔ One monsoon and freshly built roads disappear
✔ No clear public tracking of where every rupee goes 📊
This is not about blaming the country. 🇮🇳
This is about respecting the taxpayer.
Countries like Japan 🇯🇵 and Germany 🇩🇪 collect fuel taxes too.
They deliver smooth highways, reliable public transport, and transparent systems.
If we are paying global level taxes, we deserve global level infrastructure.
What needs to change:
✔ Public online audit of road and fuel tax funds
✔ Strict blacklisting of contractors whose roads fail early
✔ Citizen reporting and rating system for road quality
You are not a poor country.
You are a taxpayer funding a leaking system.
You’ve already paid for better roads. 🛣
Comment TAX if you believe accountability is patriotic. 🇮🇳
