Tax money goes to the country's budget
The budget is spent on different needs, in different countries in different ways, for example:
- financial support of law enforcement bodies of the state
- the maintenance of state institutions (hospitals, schools, orphanages, etc.)
- ensuring the security of the state, in particular the maintenance of the army
- financing of state programs
- the content of the state administration apparatus (payment of salaries to civil servants)
- construction and improvement of social facilities and territories
- pension provision
Without taxes, the budget will not be replenished and your country will fall apartDo you want chaos in your country?
Many people would argue that the private sector would do much better at a lot of these things than the government does. Thus, not having the government provide all these services would not necessarily result in chaos. It may result in the government itself becoming much smaller and less powerful. Imagine pizza delivery, for example. It's a great service that is often convenient to have. Do you think the government should take over pizza delivery. Everybody can have their pizza delivered for free. It'll just come out of our tax money. Most people would find that strange. It's better just to pay for pizza delivery if you actually order a pizza. We can argue a similar thing about just about all the services the government offers. Why are we paying for everything if we don't use it.
