Really! Taxes rise, but wages remain the same. But if there were no taxes, there would be no state. After all, the money you pay is spent on many areas of human life: medicine, the army, road improvement and the construction of municipal institutions. I would like to believe that taxes are spent in full on all these areas. Because the most pressing problem of our time is corruption.
Don't forget that taxes are also used to pay the salaries of civil servants who often work below standard and work without pressure compared to the pressure faced by private employees because private employees will always work according to the targets set by the company, and private employees pay taxes, that's the cycle and it is quite ironic indeed and there is nothing that can be done other than accepting and hoping that the government uses the tax money fully for the welfare of society and corruption is not something that can be avoided in a country with low law enforcement. However, taxes should not make us give up hope of achieving the financial goals we hope for, so that when we have to pay taxes it no longer makes us annoyed.
If we see the good things the government is using the taxes for the growth of the individual state and the country in general. No one will complain about paying taxes. Instead, there will be people willing to give more to the government so that more good can be done. On the other side, the government are using the taxes for their benefit. Meanwhile, the masses are suffering from the consequences of their actions.
I don't see anyway axes will be a problem in achieving financial goals. The taxes are not equivalent to the amount of our income so it shouldn't be something that will be much of a hindrance. However for those with more responsibilities and those living in countries where the taxes are so high then it becomes a problem.
I think that every country has transparency rules to provide information to its citizens about how their tax revenues are used, for what purposes, and so on. Even those who act on behalf of the state and work for the state are also subject to tax. This system is considered the best way to run a country. However, there are gaps in various sectors. For example, when the government increases the amount of income tax deductions, it is not accompanied by an increase in salaries. On the other hand, business people are always looking for ways to avoid paying normal taxes because the amount they have to pay is quite large.
Therefore, in my opinion, the best way to measure whether a country is running well after demanding that its citizens behave tax-compliantly is to look at the level of welfare of its people. The fewer gaps there are, the better the country is managed. Of course there are many other indicators related to this, but one thing is certain, only a few countries exempt their citizens from the obligation to pay taxes.
