NEW FRASER REPORT: taxes cost you more than food, clothing and shelter combined, as the cost of government is growing much faster than the cost of almost anything else. Solution: a smaller government that makes room for bigger citizens.

"Fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class." --- Bernardo Bertolucci on 'The Conformist' (1970) Full Excerpt: "'The Conformist' (1970) is first a film about the bourgeoisie, the middle-class, not about fascism. I was speaking about the middle class, and fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class. Whenever the working class is coming up, up, up, at this moment fascism makes its appearance. In the film there is a fascist and an anti-fascist, but the Professor in Paris, the anti-fascist, is also from the middle-class. We have two faces of the same coin, of the middle-class. One face is fascism, the other is anti-fascism, but not a Marxist anti-fascism, just an idealism. Because he is also in the middle-class, my anti-fascist is not a hero, not a positive man." (From his interview with Joan Mellen, 1975)

Motorcycles and bikes are used by common people of India. Even a middle class bike like Unicorn would make the common man pay more than 41,000 rupees in the form of different taxes and govt charges.

Did You Know This? Uttar Pradesh alone has more pending vehicle challans than the GDP of more than 30 countries. And it's the same situation across India. Indians buy expensive cars, but then drive carelessly and don't pay their fines. While we demand world-class infrastructure from the government, we also need to become more responsible and accountable citizens.

The Gilded Age is currently airing and portrays the black middle and black upper middle class in Brooklyn New, York and New Port, New Jersey. The show is set in 1877 and has a heavy emphasis on HBCUS and black ownership. And Phylicia Rashad is the villain so you know it’s good.

One of the BIG reasons why middle class remains Middle Class Middle-class people remain middle-class due to their own actions. They get one chance to become rich on their wedding day. Even the poorest families spend ₹20-25 lakh on a wedding for show, instead of giving that money to the couple for financial knowledge or a small business. Society is trapped in this cycle, ensuring you doesn't escape poverty. They prefer a one-day spectacle a procession, fireworks, sitting like a king on a horse and spend all the money, only to go back to hanging from buses and autos for work the next day. They waste money to impress relatives who aren't even satisfied with the food, complaining about salt, not realizing the couple is already spending beyond their means. The actual wedding ceremony (mandap, pheras) costs only about ₹50,000, while the rest of the ₹20-25 lakh is spent on unnecessary rituals like haldi, roka, reception, pre-wedding shoots, etc., making it seem like a week-long fashion event. They spend a fortune on photographers, videographers, drones, etc., for photos and videos that will just sit on a memory card and never be used, while a friend could take a better photo for a story. They fear being judged for a cheap wedding, but people judge them anyway for remaining poor due to these wasteful habits. Girls dream of expensive weddings and pre-wedding shoots, even wanting to visit foreign mountains for their honeymoon when they haven't even seen mountains in their own country. Their only justification for all this expense is, "A wedding happens only once." But that's also how long it takes to become poor. If they saved money, they could become rich by starting a business. It's understandable if someone with ₹1 crore spends ₹20 lakh, but those with only ₹5-10 lakh are spending ₹20-30 lakh. Then they complain about inflation and the government, when they are the ones ruining themselves for society.

#TaxTerrorism in India has become a curse on the MIDDLE CLASS. In some countries, higher Direct Taxes are balanced by lower Indirect Taxes But in India, both Direct and Indirect Taxes are exorbitantly high(Ex: Approx. 50% GST on SUV cars). After paying a crushing load of these taxes, the MIDDLE CLASS is left with mere pennies, and even then, they receive neither adequate public healthcare nor quality public education and food safety. The rich remain unaffected and leave India, and the poor enjoy benefits freely provided by the government, leaving the burden squarely on the shoulders of the hardworking MIDDLE CLASS.

We made a commitment to stand up for the middle class and those working hard to join it – that’s why we’re taking action to drive down the cost of groceries and make life more affordable.

Today we need to unlock the door to the middle class for millions of younger Canadians. We’ll build more homes and make life cost less. And we will grow the economy in a way that’s shared by everyone.
