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.
Others may try and get food by other means. For example some may go on the dole and get money from the government (which they have to pay taxes on). Some may become beggars and live in the street which is actually a lot of work and technically they have to declare that income and pay taxes on it. Some may resort to crime in order to get money and again that’s work and any money they earn is technically taxable. Some people may resort to prostitution in order to get money and again that is also work and is also taxable income.
But the fact that you keep denying over and over again is that people that don’t eat die and that dead people are unable to work. Being employed depends 100% on being able to eat food.

No, staying alive depends on eating. You don’t need a job to be able to eat - people survived for thousands of years without jobs and money.
The irony is just delicious.
The fact that your argument only applies to pre human civilization era should give you a clue that it’s not a good one.
Does every unemployed person just……die?
The ones that don’t eat do.

You fundamentally don’t understand how any of this works. You’re beyond help. Bye.
No I understand that it’s not possible to work if you starve to death. It’s you who seem to be struggling with that concept.
