This is one example but if you want more, the soldiers on the border, the metros you travel to work to, the Chandrayan that landed on the Moon, the IIT and NIT all are funded from Tax payers like us.

IIT/NIT are not completely founded by tax money, Annual fee at IITs are around 2.5L you can get a decent private college for the same fee.

Why do people keep ranting about income tax
Bro, you are earning. Shouldn't you just be grateful that you are not born in war torn Afghanistan or disease ridden Africa. I mean life could be so much worse. In fact, the only difference between you and the office boy is the household...

I'm okay with paying income tax. I'm not okay with the rest of the 97% paying no income tax.
