No, they want to tax people who do not pay taxes. Do you see the difference here? The law does not ask wether you have money or have a job. It has a single criteria - have you paid taxes during last 183 days? If not - you pay a fine of $230 next year and can continue as you like, tax free. Until the next year that is.

In positive news for Belarus, this is the first time in like a decade they managed to reach international news. Also, in regards to the last line of the article. Yes, Lukashenka was seeking to improve ties with the West and lessen the country's dependence on Russia (in part to play the Polish government like the bunch of gullible retards they are). It is no longer the case for a few weeks at least. He got what he wanted, Belorussian pendulum swung back to Russia. And, for example, the common maneuvers that until recently were a "threat to Belorussian sovereignty" or some nonsense like that are now peaceful cooperation with their beloved neighbor.
It also runs against some of the position of taxation.
It's a pretty terrible, convoluted system. If the goal is to provide people healthcare, it's much more efficient to simply provide them healthcare than it is to provide tax credits to go buy health insurance.
I realize this wasn't an option because of political considerations, but it's pretty obvious that what passed was basically a giant handout for insurance companies and medical providers.
Citizenship-based taxation is a travesty, and precisely why I chose to live off the wilds long ago. Americans who were born and raised in the US will have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam for their entire lives, even if they are permanently residing and earning their income elsewhere. Why haven't we marched on the White House yet?
The old man, who owns the internet café that I am currently using, understands how I feel and never asks me for an ID card when I come in to log on and post on MMOC. I know that the way taxes are handled in the land of the free is a grave injustice which all Americans can sympathize with, whether they want to admit it or not.
Nope. You are taxed for working only if you are either officially employed, or you own a registered company. Self employed people in Belarus are not taxed for the most part. So are people with unemployment benefits. In effect this law makes it identical to the US counterpart - you do pay taxes out of your unemployment benefits in vast majotity of states. So if you recieve unemployment benefits (disabled, retired etc.) in Belarus, you will now have to pay taxes like everyone else. If you pay them already - nothing is changed. The only people that have it different are people that are self employed and do not pay any tax at all.
Couldn't they come up with some kind of bonus instead, like if you did what was expected of you like rehabilitation, schooling and seeking jobs, generally doing what the government told you to you would get a "carrot"? No undocumented leave should be part of it to.
Belarus doing mass arrests today : protesters, local/foreign journalists, politicians, foreign observers.
The last European dictatorship is running scared. inb4uprising.
How is it? Even if you are completely unemployed for the year you are required to file your income taxes.

U.S. employers are required by law to not discriminate against disabled people.
And I am assuming disabled people are the only leg that someone on here would have to stand on when claiming that social parasites did not choose to remain unemployed.
There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
I'm just an awake defender of what it means to be American, and someone who is not particularly excited at the thought of our draconian taxation system being absent from every other mass of land in the world. Well, except for Eritrea, which is probably one of those countries where taking a dump in the streets in a cultural thing.
Meh, what do I know about patriotism. I only lost a whole goddamn ear to a shrapnel blast in Irak, while you were watching shows that involved twelve year old cat-like children wiggling their butts in a sauna.
