insane statistic: 30,000 Indians live in Uganda (43 mill people). They pay 65% of taxes

After they were forced to leave Uganda, a large, prosperous community of Ugandan Asians found themselves scattered across the globe, many having left lost the businesses they had spent years working on.
In the years which followed, Uganda's economy slumped.
But when President Yoweri Museveni, who recently won a fifth term in office, seized power in 1986, he encouraged the exiles to return.
Now, despite making up less than 1% of the population, they are estimated to contribute up to 65% of Uganda's tax revenues.
One of those who came back is today the country's richest man, Sudhir Ruperalia, worth an estimated $800m.

Only 65%?
If they still have any money left - They need to start paying their fair share.

If you've read about non-Ugandans returning there after several decades' absences, you'll read how businesses fail because people 'share' with their tribe, their family, extended family, and everybody else.
The non-natives, being different, understand commerce. But I would bet that non-natives are "sending money to their families abroad" even if they have no families abroad.

There’s a very good reason third worlds never get away from their third world condition. Here it is for anyone interested in observing.

And why would that be?
What is it about western ways that brings prosperity, to those who are willing to work for it?

We have a lot of state Capitals. And the NHL team Washington Capitals.

I went to Fiji for vacation this spring - the situation there is very similar. The population is 50 % Indian 45 % polynesian natives and 5% chinese. The Indians were brought over to work in the sugar cane plantations by the British. In 1970 the British went "peace out" and let them become their own country. The Indians own all the big businesses and live mainly in the cities and the Polynesians live in the country in their village but own all the land and won't ever sell to anyone.
The Indians and the Polynesians fricking HATE each other and I saw many overt discriminations on both sides while there. Since they hate each other nothing gets done and all the roads and infrastructure are left over from before the British left. Since the Indians do have a small majority the government has largely been made up by them but if they overstep the 100% Polynesian army steps in and they have had 3 coups in the past 50 years.
