39 years without taxation in the DPRK

   On the 21st of March it was 39 years since the Democratic People's Republic of Korea abolished the taxation system . In the capitalist countries for the past 40 or so years politicians have put up the slogan  of "cutting taxes " but the DPRK on the 21st of March 1974 went one better and abolished taxes.  Here in the UK despite talk of so-called tax reduction working people still pay a high proportion of their income in direct and indirect taxes-income tax(PAYE) national insurance, VAT , council tax etc .
                                   The DPRK does not have a budgetary deficit and provides a wide range of social benefits for its people including virtually free housing, free education, free health care etc. This is all funded by the profits of socially owned industries.
