People pay taxes only because they're forced to, threatening to use force to resist.
There are those who say that they pay taxes voluntarily.
It is difficult for people to admit that they pay taxes only for fear of retaliation from the representatives of the state. It was hard for me to admit it to myself. I don't steal not because I'm afraid of going to hell or prison, but because I understand that stealing is bad. What's the difference with taxes? To tell a person that he pays taxes only because he is afraid that he will be caught and punished means to admit that he is bad. It's very uncomfortable, people want to be good. That is why it is important for the representatives of the state that everyone thinks that paying taxes is good
I didn't know there is something like that, maybe that is only in your country. People pay taxes for the society keeps on breathing, without our taxes there will be no funds for making roads, markets, airports, and other structures we need to live in a better community. Maybe you just didn't know that that is why you've said such thing.
