Question

In a democratic government, which types of jobs, taxes, and educational activities are permissible for a Muslim to participate in, and which ones are not allowed according to Islamic teachings?

Answer

We do not seem to understand the difference between democracy and hypocrisy. But if it is work that will support justice and good values and it is a service to people then because the nature of the work is right, it will be right.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
