It's just a hypothetical question and says nothing about me. I decided to open thread with this question for a lot of reasons which I'll explain down below.
If you think about inflation, taxes and your salary at the same time, you'll understand how the government eats you alive. Let's start with the fact that იf you live in Europe and have a normal salary, you have to leave almost half of it in taxes. Then, when you want to go for shopping and buy something in store, including food, clothes, technics, etc, you have pay your taxes of those items with already taxed money. Then, the store owner has to pay taxes of the income his store generated. Distributors, who deliver things to these stores, have to pay taxes too. Then there are vehicle taxes, property taxes. So, absolutely everything is taxed and on top of that, our salary is taxed and even on top of that, we experience inflation. This is not fair!
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.
If all was equal and correct in the world, everyone would be "sharing the burden" by paying their fair share of taxes. However we all know that the richer people get, the more they are able to engineer elaborate schemes to avoid paying tax. It's a very difficult question for that reason, the answer should be that the richer pay more tax and are properly policed to stop them doing jurisdiction shopping for their vast piles of money, relying on the places that make them pay small or sometimes even no taxes at all. However when you live in a developed society and things are functioning properly, those taxes should be going to things like roads/infrastructure/emergency services and other things.
