The answer

If the work of the contract writer exceeds the work for which he receives a salary from the state, then there is no objection to him taking a wage for this additional work. This is considered a legitimate compensation (a wage for work) and not a "maks" (unjust tax). The "maks" is what the tithe collector or the toll collector takes unjustly and aggressively.
