The majority of Iranians are under pressure below the poverty line, but the mullahs\u2019 regime has again increased the pressure on them in the New Year budget.<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2022(1401 Persian year) budget Attack on wage earners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In its editorial, the state-run newspaper Jomhuri Eslami on December 25, under the headline \u201cNecessity of amending the budget bill\u201d wrote<\/a>: \u201cAsset taxation with this decree, which is foreseen in the 2022-2023 budget bill, if implemented, in addition to being a kind of heresy in tax collection, will create devastating problems for the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the Jomhuri Eslami newspaper is concerned about the popular uprising, it has warned: \u201cIt may lead to a large and uncontrollable social explosion. Do you know what an uproar such a method of taxation will cause in society?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regime\u2019s plundering war machine against the people is rapidly seizing all areas of the people\u2019s livelihood from which it is providing its surviving income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government with its tax policy and approach while stealing bluntly from the people, leaves behind the most hurt people the middle class and workers, who are paying the most taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is while in the proposed budget of 2022, the budget of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>), the regime\u2019s Radio and Television and various security, judicial, military, religious, and media institutions and centers mostly unrelated to the people\u2019s social life has been increased with generous open-handedness by the regime significantly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the tax arrears and evasions of the influential and powerful people and tax exemptions of big economic poles such as Astan Quds Razavi<\/a>, the hands of the regime\u2019s government are directly in the pockets of the people and is exploiting even more than the past years to provide the annual budget, which is revealing the regime\u2019s president hollow promises to improve the people\u2019s living conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prediction of the state-run newspaper that this action will ignite more protests is an imminent warning due to the frequent protests to the severe living problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the regime\u2019s government considers increasing the taxes by 61 percent in the coming year, it is logical that the government in the first step creates for the people the ground of fair revenues, so that there is a balance between their salaries and the taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
