Why do we need to pay taxes, if the government can print the money they need?
Haven't you read the news about inflation in Zimbabwe? it was caused by the Zimbabwean government issuing a policy to print large amounts of money, the aim was to increase the number of civil servants who could support the government. Conversely, what happens is inflation, because the amount of money in circulation is much the higher the price of goods, so it is not a solution, instead it creates new problems. That is why the tax system was put in place, as an effort to support the government to provide good facilities and services for its citizens, so it returned to us.
