^ No need to get personal bro. I need not write a book on economics. What I wrote has already been established in economics literature. It is well-established that income and wealth in-equalities create social ills. Taxation is considered a tool for redistribution of wealth, with a goal to increase welfare and development , reduce economic inequalities and create a cohesive society. The basic idea of progressive taxation (practiced in almost ALL developed countries) today is to take relatively more from the rich and give relatively more to the poor. I suggest you read up on it.

Cities like Faisalabad, Multan, Rawalpindi, etc are not really far behind Lahore in economic development and people from all over do not migrate to Lahore like crazy. The difference in situation between even Karachi and Hyderabad is huge, forget about cities and towns in interior Sindh. And yes, I would suggest spending more on Bhakkar, Lodhran, Rajanpur, toba-tek Singh and less on Lahore, Multan, or Pindi. That would eventually benefit everyone, including people from larger cities. As of now, almost all big landlords of interior Sindh have a house in Karachi and their children get educated in Karachi. They have no interest in developing their own areas.

I would always be a proponent of developing smaller cities to reduce the burden of migration on bigger cities and the cost of doing business in smaller towns.

About universities, most of the major US universities are located in smaller towns or suburbs, away from big cities. Please check the populations of the towns where top US universities are located and how many of them are in 10 biggest cities of USA. I would say that only one-third of top 20 US universities are in BIG cities. I wonder if they got it all wrong.

:k: I think big cities have reached their saturate point and its time to develop small towns to counter this saturation.
