Most people are in debt so they actually spend more than they make. NZ has amongst the highest personal debt in the world.
But your point is irrelevant.
if you have money to buy food you will need to pay taxes. If you are tapping into savings you are earning interest and that’s income. if you are selling things to make ends meet that’s income. If you are on the dole then that’s income. Hell if people gift you things that may also be counted as income.
The point is no food == no income. If you die of starvation then you will not earn income. Any income you do earn depends 100% on you eating and staying alive.
The fact this simple fact is unable to penetrate your brain shows how much your brain has been calcified by ideology.
