Some Iranian complain that their expenses are being calculated in dollar, whereas their income is in Iranian rials. To address this issue, we first need to ask whether we are paying our water and electricity bills, and purchasing essential goods in dollar?
Let’s ask a more comprehensive question: Do we pay for water, electricity, fuel, universities, schools, essential goods, amenities, the internet, telecommunications, rail and road transportation and scores of other goods and services in dollar? Do we create added value in proportion to the cost we impose on our employers, especially the government, in return for the salaries we receive from them? Those who say “our expenses are in dollar and our income is in rial” are in fact misrepresenting the problem.
