All civil servants pay taxes, just like everyone else. *Also civil

No, civel servants do not pay taxes. They *file* income tax, and send in a
cheque in the end of the year that gives back some of the money the
government gave them in the first place!

Please show me the math that people on government payrolls actually pay
taxes?

We talking "net" payments one way or the other.

Either you live off the tax system, or you are paying into the tax system.

It is a foolhardy game of semantics to stand here and tell me that becasue
civel servants file income tax is to be equiated to the same thing as
actually paying income tax.

In fact it's downright dishonest on your part not to make this distinction..
If you give me $100.00, and then I give you $25.00 back. Would I say that I
gave you $25.00?? ,or would you say that you gave me $75.00.

The fact matter is at the end of the day if you make a balance sheet, and
look at who received money from who, the plain simple fact is that civil
employees do not pay taxes. It is that simple and there's really no logical
reasonable way of looking at this at all, absolutely none.

If you disagree with his point of view, then please show me show me in a
mathematical formula how a person working for the government paid taxes? Or
did they receive taxes from the government?

These people receive more taxes then they pay, and thus they don't don't pay
taxes, it is that simple -- end of argument: *checkmate --

First, why are you cross posting this off topic BS here?

Second, your analysis is based on faulty assumptions.
You must look at society as a whole, and government is
part of society, as are we all. Different parts of society
produce and consume different things, thus resources
flow throughout. Taxes are part of that flow. If you think
you get nothing for your taxes, remember without taxes
you wouldn't have this forum to pollute. Taxes are not
the government taking "your" mony any more than the
bank is taking "your" money when you pay off your car
loan. "Your" money is what you have left after you've
paid your obligations, including taxes.
