If no one is paying tax, that could affect the economy. Tax is important. You do not have to evade tax, pay your tax.

So, my legitimate question is, after all the robbery, a person, who doesn't pay taxes, is a bad person for the society or not? More likely I want to get answer from those whose countries have a model similar of European healthcare and employment insurance.

It is not robbery if your government depend on the taxes and your government depend on it for the economy to function appropriately. If the tax is collected from only you or from few and not everyone, that is robbery, but you all are paying the tax.

Everyone is obliged to pay taxes so that is our big obligation, and not something that we should only evade, otherwise you’ll be charge with a crime. Though I see your point OP, but we cannot change the fact that tax is very essential to run a country’s economy that’s why people should instead cooperate and pay taxes because that is for our own benefits too, if not, for our kids benefits in the future.

Arent taxes is automatically deducted into our salaries on the time that we do received it? I do work on a government agency on which you are already that been deducted and other deductions life health insurances or whatsoever until your pay becomes even more lesser and its true that we are even taxed on the time that we do buy goods or even on those services that we are really that engaging into. Its true that it might really be that too much where taxes is everywhere but we know that this is really that indeed crucial when it comes to economic development on which it would really be just that normal that its citizens should really be having that obligation on paying up taxes. Speaking about on the law then once you do get caught about tax evasion then you would really be that possibly be imprisoned but we know that there are really
lots of ways on evading tax on which some people had been doing up these days.
