 For a simple comparison lets us use two bank accounts.
 
Example 1:

first account we will call govcan
second account we will call civserv

govcan has $50000 donated by the generous taxpayer

rule 1 = to withdraw money from govcan you must attend the governemnt
offices 35 hours per week, for this we will allow you to withdraw 40
hours money at $24.03, unless you have a cold or the weather is bad,
etc., at which time we can overlook the attending part of the rule.

rule 2 = for every dollar you withdraw from govcan you must return $0.30
to govcan at year end.


civserv has 50000 dollars deposit from govcan to his account on Dec. 30.
On Dec. 31 civserv returns 15000 dollars to govcan. 

result = civcern says I paid $15000 taxes this year. This money will be
used to pave roads, buy  a new computer to make my  job easier, pay for
my travel expenses, buy my office coffee, pens, tissue paper, etc.

Is this income tax?


Example 2:

first account is still govcan
second  account is called corp_worker.

rule 1= you cannot take money out of govcan!

rule 2 = for every dollar you earn you must deposit $0.30 to govcan at
year end.

rule 3 = you must produce goods 44 hours per week at $21.85/hr  to keep
your job. If you do not work you will not be paid, if you are sick for
too many days you will be replaced.

corp_worker has 50000 dollars deposit from corp_headquarters to his
account on Dec. 30.
On Dec. 31 corp_worker must give 15000 dollars to govcan. 

result = corp_worker says I paid $15000 taxes this year. This money will
be used to pave roads, buy a new computer for civserv to make his job of
collecting corp_worker's taxes easier,  pay for civservs travel
expenses, buy civserv's office coffee, etc.

Is this income taxes?


Keep in mind that corp_worker produced goods for export, which:
1)  brought outside money to his country, 
2) produced goods on which corp_headquarters paid taxes
3) donate $15000 of his own money to govcan.

Who has contributed more to the country? 

Does it seem fair that civserv should claim the same contribution to the
country as corp_worker?
