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

I think ops have a valid point, even though the government need tax to fund capital expenses, this is a clear indication of over-taxation because, from the ops point of view, there is no justification to pay income tax as a salary earner because, at the back door, you still pay value added tax on your expenses and necessities.

The government have indeed robbed the citizens in multiple ways, just as we have tax invaders as citizens the same way we have tax robbers from the government and its agents who impose multiple taxes on citizens.

Your comment has a very important and true point, governments instead of worrying about solving the salary problem and the excessive increase in inflation to create a balance, they prefer to deal with something else.. such as finishing screwing over the people, increasing the taxes even knowing that what each citizen earns is not enough, that is the kind of rulers that you have in most countries, especially in Latin America, and it is really because of this type of situation that people see themselves forced to carry out these types of acts, it is known that taxes help with the economy of a country, but if in reality these go to the clutches of thieves, i doubt very much that something is being contributed, so i think it is difficult to judge When a person is forced to do that kind of thing, it may be a crime, but i don't consider it that serious, as long as the circumstances warrant it

Government for sure heard what people wanted, like an increase in salary or the minimum wage, but government doesn't give a damn on this as they prefer those businesses are in a good situation. Those employees want an increase, and the business owners will say they can't cope, and after that, government will say that it is difficult as business owners will go bankrupt, meaning they can pay taxes, even though the economy is starting to be good. Right now, it is better to do it on your own, like find multiple jobs or a side hustle, so that you can still cope with the inflation.
