Brother, what I wrote is not flawed but it is your thinking and understanding of economics is flawed. What I wrote is not only practiced all over the world, but that is only way for a country to survive, develop, and prosper. Your logic that government job is to tax rich areas to spend on backward and poor areas means, making those who give taxes start thinking not only against the government but also against the country, that in the end becomes disaster for the country, its development and prosperity, effecting both rich and poor…

No. Read again. Government spending should depend on the POTENTIAL of the area and sector, not how poor it is. That’s the whole purpose of tax system. Rich pay more, but the infrastructure developed from that taxes benefits all. Rich pay more tax, but the military (at least in theory) defends all. Rich pay more taxes, but everyone can benefit from hospitals and schools equally. What if the rich start saying that poor do not have the right to use the roads built with tax money because they do not contribute enough tax?

Essentially, development economics would suggest that (in case of Sindh), it would be actually be Karachi that would benefit the most if other parts of the province are developed, creating more business and job opportunities in those areas and people there have enough spending power to buy things from Karachi manufacturers and traders and not migrate in large numbers to the city. If every dollar spent in Karachi brings in $2, then every dollar spend in Dadu would not only bring in $5 in Dadu but also $5 in Karachi as well. Over and out.
