In my country theres a law that minimum wage earners are exempted to tax thats why we really dont mind the taxes implemented by goverment but theirs VAT when we buy some basic goods And thats ok since its helping my countries economy and my salary left is enough to survive for 1 month and wait another salary date.
Same here in our country but the tax in service and basic commodities are too much for minimum wage earnes not to mention 8 hours for 5 to 6 days of working schedule and a highly congested traffic roads which really is toxic and hard for common people trying to work and balance their hard earned money.
