Demonitization - Rationale to Stand in Queue vs Generating Blackmoney

People say, "for the sake of nation why can't you sacrifice few hours standing in the queue at bank branch/ATM", and also adds sentiment "when soldiers at the border keeping his life for the nation, why can't you". Let us accept this comparison for a while.
If I am not wrong, we are all supporting #Demonitization to bring black money in to light.
Let's try to understand, What is the source of black money?
  • We go for driving license and pay bribe showing the reason that I can't take leave another for driving license if I fail
  • We register our newly purchased house/flat/land and pay bribe to registrar, and say I can't come back again to govt office by taking leaves
  • We buy products at Bus stations, theaters, airports, hotels at more than MRP prices... We don't dare to question and don't realize those vendors are generating black money and give a share to politicians and shop contractors. We keep going with dump(b) eye
  • For getting marriage certificates for their actual marriage, people pay bribe, showing the reason I can't take leave or bring required witnesses to the office (as if certificate is for fake marriage)
  • We pay the school fee in cash, with a reason that school management is insisting on cash payment
  • We pay tips (remember tips in India are illegal and are unaccounted) at hotels, petrol bunks (Boys at petrol bunk are not being paid at par by their managements because they get tips)
  • We go to Hospital and pay for the treatments/medicines (mostly unnecessary, but hospital puts this on patients to generate more revenue) that Insurance company don't accept it as treatment - don't question at all...
  • We don't even try to look the quality of road in front our house and question the contractor while road works are in progress
We also shall not forget, local corruption is required for bad politicians to win in next elections. If we block that we can weaken that corruption link and prevent big scams...

We generated and are generating the black money and we are asking some one to sacrifice their livelihook and stand in queue...
