Who likes to pay when there's nothing in return?

Reading your post sounded like you were talking about my country, i am from Nigeria by the way and most of what you said is also the situation in my country. Nigeria is blessed with natural resources, but where does all the government revenue go to? It is spent on paying politicians all sorts of allowances and paying for their luxury, you would be amazed at how much legislators earn in my country when you compare it to the minimum wage.

That said, i don't have a problem with paying my taxes, but i will feel a lot better if they were used to improve the standard of living to an acceptable level.

Actually many can relate with that. But as for the resources, I think yeah that Nigeria can excel over the others. It is not surprising anymore on why they are still poor but if only their governments are on their right minds, they can easily surpass some countries.

Politicians should not be given by a good salary if they are not doing their jobs well but this is also the reason on why they can kill only to get on their positions. About minimum wage, I think the employer are still free to increase it if they really wanted to but the problem is that many of them are also stingy. They are close to those kind of governments we are talking about earlier.

I think tax system is good to run the country because all people want facility in life and that is, possible by tax system but there should be fair tax application on all people. Rich people are paying no taxes on their assets and they have billions of dollars in the account and they are showing that they are in debt which is making the country in debt because these are important part of country and most of the industries are run by these people, these people could give tax easily but they claim that they are giving jobs and they deserve relief and they are the reason behind accumulation if tax from poor people but countries will stand when all people will give tax and government will be sincere with the people. The coordination between people and government is important to get rid of debt overload.

We do know on how taxes works and its that for the good when it comes to economic development of course on which the citizen would be able to benefit out on which it would be that still depending on the leaders of the said country whether they are that responsible enough and not someone whose corrupted on which there are those places who do have this very common problem. This is where we could be able to see the difference when it comes to governance and development of course that differ on each place and thats why its ideal that a certain individual wont be that hoping up that much or would be that reliant when it comes into those possible benefits that they do get into government services or aids or what. Its better to think up on having that approach rather than on trying to expect something or not.

If they would be that trying out to apply then it would be good but if not then there's nothing we can do about it but rather to move on and just that simply move our own way on how to sustain.
We are the ones who would be trying out change up our lives even with those factors along the way.
