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 you do not pay taxes on your earnings you might face serious consequences from the government. It will depend on how much taxes that you have not paid. The government can impose fines and penalties on the individuals for failing to pay their taxes on time. This fines can be quite substantial and may even exceed the amount of taxes you owed. In my country taxes are automatically deducted to the salary if you are employed. But if you owned a business or you are self employed you file your own taxes based on the deadline each month that is scheduled by the Bureau. In other countries you might face criminal charges for tax evasion and this could result to fines a criminal record and even imprisonment. If you are a responsible citizen you will not tax evade to avoid more serious problem later on.
