Social and economic inequality is indeed a global problem. But when it comes to Iran under the ruling theocracy, the situation becomes more like an apartheid state, where, except for the ruling elites, the majority of the population suffers.<\/p>\n
In Iran’s economic tempest, hyperinflation and unemployment tear lives apart. The people’s suffering defies description, a nation pushed to the brink, grappling with a situation that transcends the bounds of what was once deemed endurable.<\/p>\n
The country suffers from what the Iranian regime\u2019s insiders consider the \u201cmaze\u201d and \u201cblack hole\u201d<\/a> of corruption. While Iranians can hardly make ends meet, \u201cThe current framework disproportionately favors the wealthy, emphasizing their advantage. It’s not solely the government but rather the overall system that caters to the affluent. The regulations and dynamics of this setup perpetuate their prosperity,\u201d Majid Hosseini, a regime-affiliated expert, told the state-run Didarnews website on June 21.<\/p>\n Hosseini acknowledges that, for example, \u201cHousing inflation impacts everyone outside the ruling class, creating a need to be in that bracket to evade it, for the bottom 30%, education and healthcare is an unattainable dream.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYet, the government tries to blame people for not fulfilling their duties, such as paying taxes. How can they pay taxes with such a meager salary? Yet, 12 petrochemical companies in the country paid two billion dollars in taxes this year. They paid $12 billion in 2005. Why are they paying less?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n According to the state-run Khabaronline website on April 27, \u201cIranian employees pay ten percent of the total taxes, while big financial institutions and companies pay nearly nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n In a startling admission in June 2023, the official Iran newspaper wrote: \u201cThe 79% tax surge, alongside burdening the impoverished, will exacerbate the recession. Livelihood strain is set to intensify this year, compounding the challenges people face.\u201d<\/p>\n The recently revealed classified documents shed light on the IRGC's control over Iran's oil revenue, underscoring the regime's corruption and economic mismanagement.https:\/\/t.co\/genvxrs91b<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) May 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
