If you had read the laws or even your constitution you would know the role of government. Government is not a charity organisations. Its a legal structure. Whose main role of government is security and safety, order and governance, economic guidance , public infrastructure and and services, resources and management.
Not all citizens pay taxes, and the woman in discuss does not pay tax. I know you are going to talk about the one she pays when she buys bread from the shop. Now I would have to put you in a fiscal policy class. Or what is known as distribution of resources, the tax collected on goods goes to help the economic infrastructure, that includes roads and payment of the officers or teams that have to deal with everything that comes with usage of roads. Don't be mistaken every country has its own fiscal policy and distribution. If you were informed you would know why UK has access to free medical care while the Americans don't. Yesterday the minister passed the new health policy that came with a tax on every Ugandan of age to cover for their medical insurance so they can provide the free one like UK. The reason why Britain left EU is because while it had free access to housing and medication and universal credit because it was taxing it's citizens for these things and alot of taxes by the way, other countries were not and yet when they came UK they were entitled to these free services at the cost of the British people. If Uganda even added the amount of taxes the British tax their public. Ugandans would go to war. Ever had of a tax called council tax. Ugandans don't even pay that, it's the tax you pay specifically for your local council monitoring the collection of rubbish, cleaning of roads, monitoring water pipes and electricity repairs in your local area. These systems cannot work in Uganda because unlike Britain 99% of Ugandans are Freeman's of the land. Own the land themselves as individuals, maintenance of everything on that land and their welfare is on them not the government, the government is responsible for the whole security of the country and availability of resources. Its responsible for food being available in the country and in the market for access but not responsible for how it reaches your plate or stomach.
Go to school bwana and stop misleading people in making them believe that government is responsible for their own choices or their parents choices. Especially believing the president is responsible for their problems instead of their chairman
