The Economic Rights Every Indian Should Have | Budget 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOyMtx-bWPw The Wire
people should have a set of fundamental economic rights.
1. right to food in which people everybody should be entitled to obtain food exactly on the same terms on which the BPL population used to obtain in the years before the
pandemic. Currently it is made out as a largess by the PM or ruling power..
2. right to employment. unemployment is the most serious crisis
facing the economy and of course the fact that people don't get employment is
not their fault. it's the fault of society that we live within a social Arrangement
3. Right to free Universal Health Coverage .
4. right to quality publicly funded education system supplemented by various charitable
organizations . but now by commercial private educational establishments and finally I believe.
5, Right to noncontributory universal pension scheme where
everybody gets a living pension and of course disability benefits
This would require an additional 7 % of GDP. tax.
which can be raised by a) a 2% wealth tax and b) an inheritance tax on the top 1% of the population.
budgets generally show an increase in infrastructure investment, some increase in the financial allocations in the form of transfers to the people but what is being taken away from them through the erosion in their living standards in real terms because of inflation and because of unemployment. giving out doles to the people actually devalues the role of the people as Citizens it appears as if the government is doing some charity towards them.
It should be a rights based program .
the citizens reacquire their dignity and in which a set of fundamental economic rights is
introduced and in which we actually delink from globalization by having bilateral agreements with other countries of the third world ..
