I don't know how much simpler this can be made. The emotional blackmail has run its course and does not work anymore so stop peddling this mantra. There is no civic responsibility felt in Pakistan. The result of this apathy is in front of everyone.
I am not going to argue or defend the character of our nation, there is no character but hypocrisy only.
However, your view of very few people paying taxes in Pakistan is wrong. If ever, we conduct a fair and honest audit of FBR, the FBR will end up paying refunds to infants as well. Millions in Pakistan have annual income well below the taxable threshold, but they end up paying tax, which is never recorded nor known publicly that where that money goes.
It is not the people of Pakistan who have failed, it is the people who had the power to make policies and decisions and institutions that have failed to build a law-abiding mature society.
Few families and individuals not only landed us in this situation, but also very successfully destroyed our future. They did not even spare the bait ul mal money.
Even a child in Pakistan now knows there is no justice, there is no law, you can be robbed, raped, killed, harassed, kidnapped, runover, bulldozed, these will all make a good publicity and money making opportunity for vultures.
Just a simple example, PEMRA can impose any ban at any time on the media, but they cannot force media houses to run informative learning programs for youth and children?
