Frustrated after paying 80L tax

I have recently lost my job due to layoffs. I have paid over 80 lakhs as tax to government over my career of 5 years. Tax equivalence to a fucking house!

Now, i have 0 social security. What is the government giving me for all this tax? Just a big GHANTA! I am a strong believer in India's growth story and that its best to stay in india! But guess i have to change my thoughts now!

I feel sorry for you, it is true that there is no social security. But it is difficult in a country like India, that s the harsh truth we have to accept. Wish you good luck with finding new job.

Paying 29L as tax this year!!

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!
