The incentive under these taxation programs is to be poor and let the government pay for your needs.
The whole point is that billions are lost to people who do not report income. I cannot do that.

I don't believe you should be paying 42%. I don't think anyone should pay that much. Not even Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Ok, maybe them.
I thought you had said somewhere that you didn't care if they raised taxes because you would hide your income. Sorry if I misunderstood. Maybe you were just being facetious.
