In the post, EngiNerd expressed frustration over the apparent disproportionate burden placed on taxpayers, particularly salaried individuals.

With tax rates reaching as high as 31.2 percent, many taxpayers end up contributing more to the government than they spend on themselves annually, yet the returns on this investment are deemed inadequate.

"The return on income tax paid is horrible in India, nowhere in this world is the salaried class exploited by the Government like this," stated EngiNerd.

"You pay lakhs of rupees in tax, and if you lose your job the next year, you don't even get anything in return. You're left stranded," highlighted EngiNerd.

How EngiNerd Concludes His Post?

The post concluded with a call for income taxpayers to be given priority in certain government services, such as railway ticket reservations and assistance in government offices. EngiNerd emphasized the need for recognition and support for the hardworking salaried class.

"If nothing else, give income taxpayers some priority in getting railway tickets reserved, some priority in getting their job done in government offices. But no, the government keeps 81 crore people dependent on free ration so that they keep voting, and the hardworking salaried class keeps getting exploited," concluded EngiNerd.
