We fight it out by ourselves like there is no government to provide us with some basic amenities and quite better to be called "a daylight robbery or extortion" that once individuals has struggled to make productive differences from the economy slavery chain of the government, you would be will assigned to revenue on taxations.
Everybody pays tax, whether you know or not,, but your taxation becomes more obvious when you have a lot of money.
Tax conditions are different in every country; some countries take it more seriously than others.
@OP, We are from the same country, and the very last time that I was out to enjoy a bottle of beer, I remember that on my receipt for payment, I saw that there was an addition for VAT on my drink. It is the same with the services rendered by some other outlets, so even if you are not rich yet or even working, there is still some tax that you pay.
