I'm from a country where, i was unemployed for over 5 years after my Bachelors degree, and all this was due to the crumbling economy and the inability of our government to put policies in place to combat the declining economy, meanwhile every month even as i was unemployed, tax was being deducted from my account, my question then is, why should i have to pay tax, if the country has done nothing for me as an individual?
That is a big issue. Tax is being collected to a citizen of a country and being deducted to him/her with his/her earning. it is some percent of your total earnings in a month/year. so, how can they collect tax from you if you are unemployed? unless you are having a business.
