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.
In each country the government has to pay taxes to the people according to the specific law which varies from country to country. you must pay taxes as directed by the government as it will help the country to develop. If you avoid taxes, you may grow financially but your country will suffer. So for you it is not considered good if your country is harmed it must be a bad thing. But at the end of every financial year people evade taxes by adopting different methods, it is not new and not unusual.  But in my opinion it is not right to do so and it is also a crime in terms of law
