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!
