Definitely.  The unique thing is that he is using taxpayer money to do so.

By cess, you are made to pay more not less.\n\nIt is something that is required to be paid by those paying the "Central Excise Tax" over and above the normally payable amount of tax.

They'll find somewhere else to tax it from, don't you worry.  They always seem to find somewhere else to tax it from.  Since we're going into an era of health-food police, maybe instead of taxing you per income, they will tax you per pound every April 15.\n\nThe government that steals from Peter to give to Paul can always count on Paul for support.

There are two kinds of gifts to the head of states. 1. a personal gift to the Presidents or prime ministers, which are considered as personal and can be kept privately. 2. there are gifts which are considered "official" gifts, which is a gift to the country or state. These gifts are considered public property and should be turned over to the state.  \n\nUsually, gifts are not taxable income. the amount to be spent are limited, depending on the funds that are available for these purpose. Usually these fund are not divulged except to the state auditor.

Yes, for it is written, Give to Cesar what is his.  It's in the Bible, people, when someone asked Jesus if they should pay taxes.  Now, The Church of SubGenius is the only church in the US to proudly pay their taxes.

I think you are asking why government employees pay taxes. It is simple - because they are workers first, government employees second.  In some localities, government employees far outnumber private sector workers. If government employees didn't pay taxes, then the local governments would fail.

No, taxes (if any) are paid by the estate. You can read more by following the link below. Here's the portion dealing with inheritances:\n\n"No tax on the person receiving your gift or estate.\nThe person who receives your gift or your estate will not\nhave to pay any federal gift tax or estate tax because of it.\nAlso, that person will not have to pay income tax on the\nvalue of the gift or inheritance received."

Firstly and most crucially, the royal family DOES NOT live off the taxpayer. HRH Queen Elizabeth II is the owner of crown property (ie the Duchy of Lancaster). The tax which the government receives from the residents and businesses in the duchy itself is collected and a portion of that tax money is given to the queen herself. In essence, it is the monarchy which subsidizes the government NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.\nFrom this income, she must pay her staff and the other royals who are on the Civil List.\nThis nonsense that the British royal family lives off the taxpaying public is mere tripe. You can debate the merits of giving any portion of the taxes the government receives frmo the Duchy of Lancaster to the British Royal Family but you can't debate what constitutes fact.\nHope that helps.

The first answer may only refer to income tax(?) If you take into account indirect taxes such as purchase tax/VAT, duties such as on fuel etc. and other charges such as local authority rates the situation may be different. I think a better picture would be obtained by looking at the government's total tax revenue as a percentage of GNP.\nIn the end you pay your money and hope the government makes good use of it.
