As a middle class Indian who lives in the West much of the time, I think you're dead wrong. First of all, almost all the state investments go to the middle class. I was brought up in a state owned company township - in what's called the public sector - and I got a free education when I was there. We moved cities and in this new city I went to a private school that took the rich but also kids of government employees since they wanted to play nice with the powers that be. Then I went to a public university that gave me excellent education for which I paid next to nothing. That in turn got me a scholarship at a major US research university where I got paid to study. In other words, I had all the support from a poor society to succeed. Sure, I worked hard, but so does every manual laborer, car driver, restaurant worker, house maid and farmer. And guess what: they get very little for their efforts. Meanwhile the people they work for have drivers and maidservants and care givers and what not. That's an unequal society. I don't want a drone. I would much rather the world had way fewer cars. What I would like is lush forests, cities with sidewalks, good public transport, healthcare for everyone. And the ability to dream a future that's different from Lamborghinis. Perhaps seven dimensional universes in which you can turn a Lamborghini inside out and velcro the seats to a lamp post. If I may say so, you know very little about India, about what middle class means, what poverty means and what privileges come from making $10000 a year. My taxes should be higher.
