What is the meaning of being a good citizen and tax payer?

Have you ever wondered why we always have been told to study hard, find a job, work hard, pay taxes, and retire at 60?

If you become successful as getting job then you are generating revenue for your government in the form of tax explicitly and also you are contributing to the betterment of their economy in some way. So don't you ever think why always get a good job?

If citizens have paid taxes, of course they have the right to receive services from the government in the form of good public services and also the government must be able to provide what their people need properly, but if the government cannot do this, of course there is something wrong with the management of the tax funds that have been provided. paid by their community, to be able to get a good job of course everyone must have good abilities and also good skills in their field of work because it is impossible for us to get a good job if we don't have skills in the field of work we want Therefore, we must be active in studying so that we can master well the field in which we want to get a job.

unfortunately, most of the tax payers money don't end up being used to provide amenities for the tax payers. The percentage of the taxed money that eventually gets to the millions of tax payers around the nation is always less than 40% with maturity of the project only centered at the urban areas. Apart from the regular tax that's directly removed from civil servant and shop owners, all the goods we consume are being taxed from which means that we are paying tax for almost all the things we do and yet, we can't ger free electricity and even after paying for our electric bills, you don't get to see what you've paid for.

Tax is just not useful in most part of the world and honestly, it's just another scheme that's used by the government to extort money from the citizens. If the purpose of tax was being followed and all tax payers money where used to do the purpose it's supposed to serve, it would have been one of the most functional policies that's centered at aiding the developmental stride of a nation. Unfortunately, most persons in charge of such sectors don't consider being accountable with regards to the funds that they receive as tax from the people and even when they see needs in the locality looking at them eyeball to eyeball, it wouldn't bother them that those needs would have been met should they have used the tax payers money in the right way.

After working hard, a big portion of it goes to taxes. And why? Not even half of it is useful. Cities' 40% efficiency is a joke, but what about those poor bastards in the sticks? A dime is likely their luck. It seems like the system favors the wealthy

Man, it's vicious. As we pay more, we get less. That makes you want to say, "Screw it, I'm moving to a tax haven." There might be a better method. Suppose we could choose how our money is spent. Direct democracy. Imagine if local tax boards of average people like you and me allocated funds. Might as well fix the roads instead of erecting another politician's vanity project. We could fund schools and hospitals instead of failed industries
