      Agreed, there are so many mismatched incentives in Pakistan’s economy and there is also a significant amount of distortions in the market in such that the rich don’t suffer from what daily wagers suffer. For example there so many exemptions in the GST tax where it’s really regressive tax policy now where the rich the are exempted from so many taxes even reporting their earnings as well.
