Doubtful about tax authorities

[Don]

Paying taxes is a social responsibility because it ensures that everyone contributes to the funding of public goods and services that benefit society as a whole. It supports education, healthcare, infrastructure, and welfare, helping to reduce inequality and improve the quality of life for all citizens. By fulfilling this obligation, taxpayers uphold the collective well-being and sustainability of their community.
But then how do you call this phenomenon when tax collectors themselves are evading taxes?

Anyone thought about signing up as an IRS employee?

I call it “no one likes to pay taxes”

Sign up to IRS then you can avoid prison and can keep job at IRS, even when getting busted for tax evasion, isn't it awesome?

And I thought it is just a way to control people (they are printing billions of new money yearly anyway, there is no real reason to take even more from the people when you already rob them through inflation) and harvest their wealth, while distributing it to pharma (COVID), the military complex (endless wars), and via subsidies to chosen industries (climate change) back into the politicians pockets via brown envelopes - all without providing any value to the people they steal the money from (under the threat of kidnapping and violence). Silly me.

The world is so abundant: we have free water coming from the sky, plants and animals multiplying and growing without the need for any human interaction - providing food for everyone. It would be a paradise without the thugs controlling and stealing our wealth, telling us that processed food and synthetic meat is better for us than what we ate since the beginning of time, just to siphon money to their greedy donors and receive bribes.

Exactly, never understood where such ideas come from.

Recent example of rhetoric in favor of tax:
"The introduction of a Corporate Tax regime will help the UAE achieve its strategic ambitions and incentivise businesses to establish and expand their activities in the UAE."

"The UAE Corporate Tax regime has been designed to incorporate best practices globally and minimise the compliance burden for UAE businesses."

You remove the main incentive - exemption from tax, and call it incentive, and minimization of compliance burden?? It seems quite the opposite.

This is factually incorrect. Taxes don’t directly pay for government expenses; public debt does.
Taxes are as a tool for central banks to recoup part of the newly circulating currency so they can keep inflation under control.

Read about modern monetary theory

Truth be told, I wrote this paragraph to convey the "mainstream narrative".
Hats off to you for nicely elaborating these "tools" in a concise and factually correct way.

Taxes are just the indispensable tool for keeping the illusion of fiat money alive. Clearly, the state has no genuine need to collect the very money it creates.
