Actually, the tax against social parasitism is a good idea. In the former USSR, social parasites were rounded up and they were either shot or sent to the gulags. At least these people should be thanking Lukashenko, as he is not shooting them at point blank.

This is a moronic idea. Same as Lukashenko himself. Around the world unemployed, the benefits are paid, and this idiot wants their taxes to take. How such a thing could come to mind?

Actually, this is a good idea. There are a lot of jobs available in Belarus, especially in the agricultural sector. But the lazy urban dwellers don't want to work. This tax will make them think twice before rejecting any job offers.

They are not parasites as long as they aren't given anything by the government. Could you explain what an unemployed person is taking from the rest of the society?

In my view the tax is ridiculous and unexecutable due to many reasons:
1. An unemployed person has no income, but has to eat and live somewhere. Such people have expenses and are often in debt.
2. It's impossible to demand and execute payment of people with no money / in debt.
3. For this law to have grounds, the rate of unemployment would have to be 0 or close to it. It's completely unjust to demand from all people to find work when there's more people than positions to be filled.

Turkey also has a similar law. If you don't have a job, you have to pay a monthly fee based on your parents income. (they don't care how old you are btw) In return, you will have the right to benefit from the free (not so free actually) health services. (doctors, pharmacies etc)

It is sad to see that this shit is becoming popular.

Long story short, they don't want you to be a lazy person. They want you to work so the country's non-employed people numbers will decrease. More tax income for the country.

If you don't wanna work, you have to pay for being lazy.

Damn what a shit time to live in. You can't even become jobless without paying.

But that is just a way to try force someone to work and that is called slavery if someone is fine being poor and not having many things then it is his choice, once again this shows that every time the government tries to regulate something it fails.

Wait, if you didn't work for 6 months, how are going to pay that tax? Does Belarus subsidize unemployed people? I just find that surprising, being that I've been unemployed for sometime and got nothing from our government. Wow, seems socialism really took off in Europe. There are plenty of countries where citizens don't even have a safety net. If what they are worrying about is that people would live off welfare, why not just cut off the subsidies after a certain number of months?

Starting from February 20 in different cities of Belarus there is a protest against the tax from the unemployed
If a person does not work for 6 months he must pay a tax of 360BYR (~ $150)

Protest occurs in such cities as Minsk, Brest, Homel, Vitebsk, Bobruisk, Grodno etc.

Number of protesters retail
In some cities hundreds of people protest in others may be several thousand

What do you think of this?
