Why not pay taxes? After all, they often go to good deeds, to health care, the environment, etc. Or am I mistaken somewhere?
If you didn't mistake then the word corruption won't exist now.
There is corruption, yes, but it, if my mind doesnt fail me, doesnt affect citizens as much as it does in some third world countries.
Who knows maybe your country could turn into most corrupted country in the next year itself if everyone got the same mindset as yours.
