If you are walking on the road and enjoying a nice day at the nearby park it's all because someone paid their taxes.
Taxes helps a lot , I have seen people frowning over about how they don't want to pay any taxes and as such.
Government ensures that if you earn over a certain amount then for sure you can contribute in the making of your country. It's only if you are able to.
Taxes helps in :
Paying the salary of government employees
Making of roads
Public schools
Parks run by the government
Maintenance fees
Making government hospitals
Making high schools ... The list is endless
We all use all these services at one part of the life or other therefore we can just consider it a little payment for that .
People frown how government is corrupt , it is but not entirely if it was then you woont see new projects coming up in your town or city.
It's just our responsibility to pay taxes, we shouldn't run from it because it will more or so be used for everyone out there in your country , you are indirectly helping others too through paying them , the less advantageous ones.
Also one might say government can print all the money they need , but that's not the case ..the more money a government prints the lower the value of their currency gets which genrally have adverse effects in many sectors.
I agree. Though many people define tax as a burden, but one should consider it as a way to help bridge the needs of the people and the capability of the government to fill in the gap. Without taxes, how can the government implement projects for the community? Without taxes, how can the public servants attend to the needs of their constituents? You see, these are just few instances how taxes play a vital role in our community. The tax we pay, may it be direct or indirect, is the blood of the government. Without it, I don't think it's possible to carry out their future plans for the country. That's how significant taxes are. With its necessity, it should be handled well by capable individuals.
