Topic: Increase of taxes requires more job opportunities (Read 574 times)

Do you mean jobs in public sector? Or jobs created by the government? I ask this because I'm against more jobs in public sector. Most of them do nothing and get paid for that, that's why I'm against it but if you mean that governments should create new jobs, that's impossible in modern capitalism, jobs were created in communism because there weren't businesses and everything was managed by the government.

Increase of taxes is the worst step, it basically means that government can do nothing other than to milk its own citizens. Even in the worst case, it should be temporary because long-term, increase of taxes might cause massive protests and will destroy the available taxing system and it will be for worse for the government.

People feel less motivated to work and thrive when they have to pay taxes, especially if they are abusive ones, because in the end citizens will be working mainly to feed the government, like slaves used to do regards their masters in past centuries. Increase on taxes only work when you have a satisfied thriving people, so they will pay taxes without complaining, as it won't have a considerable negative impact over their finances.

Some claim that taxes are necessary and useful to maintain the services offered by the government running smoothly, but that must be a valid assumption only in western European countries and probably Japan. In most countries taxes are just easy money for a political and judiciary minor elite to live comfortably at the expense of a majority composed by fools and ignorant people who think to be making a good deal by being part and maintaining this decaying hipocritical society.

Rural areas commonly do not have a lot of jobs available. They always try to move into the big cities in hopes of higher pays and more opportunities. Fortunately, in my country, they are starting to develop these areas more and more. They are building malls and other establishments that would generate more jobs for the people in the region.
My country definitely needs a reevaluation. So many jobs require too high credentials only for small wages. This is why many of us go abroad to seek out job and we suffer from brain drain.

When a corrupt government has been on power for long people will understand all there rigorous ways of money laundering because I don't no how stupid they feel the masses are that they cannot understand there are other money that should have been used for anything infrastructure in the country, if the money they are getting from international revenue cannot handle such work they should explain to us what they have been using those money to do, however the title of this discussion is just a good summary for everything because any addition in tax should also attract more opportunities and most especially higher monthly salary, so that you will be paying tax with a heart full of happiness that you have a high earn job.

There should really be some sort of bracket if we do speak abou tax deductions on which basing up into the salary bracket and not that making up that general % on overall earnings of those workers on which on this case then it will really be that making someone to suffer whenever  there would really be that market inflation or increase in prices whether on goods or services. Inflation or continous increase of in todays goods and services do really that becomes a burden specially into those who are really that earning sufficient on their day to day needs on which it wont really be that enough if there would be even more increase as years passing by. You would really be able to struggle on the moment that you cant find any alternatives or sources of income or simply be that staying up with your monthly paycheck into your day job.

Not to make up those kind of criticizing those average workers but in todays world on which there's no way that you could really be able to obtain yourself on having those investment or business or other sources of income in easiest way as possible. You will really be facing up tons of challenges along the way and this isnt something simple that you could really be able to deal on with. So it will really be that up to you
on how you will be working hard to achieve those goals that you do have in mind. There are really just that those individuals who are really that having those goals and targets and there are ones who are
really just that contented on what they do have currently have now.

This is one of the problem the society faces today all over the world. Everyone is expected to pay equal tax without considering the level of each person's earning. The government play a blutant role in human capital development and or skill acquisition training or lacks the ability to creat employment opportunity for the masses by not opening factory or production companies for people to harness and make money to help themselves and also have some fund to pay tax but only extort from its citizens. But however what then can people do? I will say since government can not help the citizens in development due to there greediness and self-centredness, we would work hard to survive or help  ourselves. out, Because hoping on government to do everything for us will result to disappointment.

If the government is corrupt then the steps they think about how to manage the state finances to create personal and group benefits and usually taxes are the most common source of corruption among the ruling elite. Whereas the government's job is to create infrastructure so that people can live much better and they create easy access to taxation so that there are investors who will build businesses that can accommodate local workers in the company.

People are finding it increasingly difficult to get jobs in conditions like today but instead they take advantage of the opportunity to enrich themselves. This is an example of a corrupt leader who never thinks about his people and most of them are only affiliated with business partners who benefit him and his group.

Increase of taxes runs the risk of collapsing an economy, you end up with less money with the higher taxes it all becomes an ironic failure.   You can end up with a death spiral especially with large amounts of debt, its a real danger in any country especially in the modern economies commonly carrying so much debt with constant expectation of growth which is not always available.

If the government is not corrupt, they can dedicate a lot of these taxes to worthwhile projects, wherein, their constituents will truly enjoy whatever they have paid to their government. The taxes collected are actually vital in pursuing the government's projects and the continuity of their programs.

I think the government shouldn't just increase the amount in tax simply because of the amount they need to use to keep up the infrastructure in the country, they should consider the level of inflation in the country and how much the people are trying to manage their finance and the increase in the price of things, people will be forced to keep avoiding taxes and the government will keep convicting people till they reduce the amount of tax they expect them to pay.

People were already committing tax fraud when the economy was somehow ok right now the situation of things will make people to stop paying tax because they can not meet up again to sustain and pay tax.

This is not necessarily true and reducing taxes will often spur more hiring by businesses, but it is a very delicate balance that each government has to find. Just look at the many "zero tax" countries around the world who use this strategy to draw people in - you can see places like Dubai became thriving cities with this concept, however now they are slowly letting it climb back up now they've captured the amount of interest they needed. You better hope that the government spends those taxes wisely as well, as you mention infrastructure which would be a good use, but if the government system is weak it can be lost to things like wasteful spending and corruption, which undermines trust in politicians for many years to come.

Why would anyone want a lower paying job when the pay cannot cover the expenses they are going to incur in settling daily bills? The jobs might be there, but if there are no basic amenities available to make live easier for tax payers, the income they get from their jobs will not be enough to make them live comfortably.

Speaking of third world countries. Most businesses there suffer because they do not have access to good roads, health care, electricity, water etc, yet these guys pay taxes but do not see the benefits of the tax they are paying.

You can only speak for your country. People will always aim for the best in everything. They have paid for all these things, therefore it is the duty of the government to either create these jobs for these people, give these people incentives to grow their own businesses or create a conducive environment for everyone to live comfortably even with the low paying jobs.

This depend if the government is working or not working.

The government can't employ everyone, this is debate able but that's my opinion and also what any government will say. Sometimes I think any person that is employed by the government do the most lazy work, they do as they like and don't respect the labour unless it get to a point where their service is really needed, not to generalize but most don't deserve the job they are doing and that's why sometime when government screw them with taxes, I just laugh and pass. However, I can't say if that's the same for other countries but I can affirm to this 100% in my country.

Again, the government can't offer all jobs that's why they offer grants and loans for business, this is to support other people that are self employ and make people have something doing but whenever all this money are much in circulation, to mop them they tend to increase interest rate but so they don't chase out investors, they just go for general increase in taxation of their citizens, this is good of the government is intervening in the affairs of people and bad if they don't.

Tax will not be something difficult for every citizen to pay if the government is doing what is right with the tax and also creating jobs for the country, there are country that their tax are high but the government them what they deserve as a citizen, there are some countries that the government will increase the tax and still the citizen don't have a job, many educated youths are on the street looking for how to survive without government, being educated without having work is like wasting of time to study.

Government are not doing their duties these days, what they know is how to increase the tax and revenue and how to steal public funds and put them in their account, having good jobs with good pay is the best way to make the citizens contribute to any tax that the government want the citizen to do, in my country I don't think some people even pay their tax and they don't care because even the government know that they can't do anything about it as they are the cause of it.

The population growth is the problem, in fact we are not even growing equally neither, we have so many nations and cultures that are in the under 2 number, meaning they are shrinking in size, whereas there are cultures and regions where the yare giving birth at an expending rate, meaning eventually they would have total control over worlds population. I am not going to name any names, but we are seeing them spreading to whole world, every nation, from Japan to USA, every part of the world and giving birth at a huge rate, so they are going to be the biggest majority in every nation eventually.

And this means, we are going to lack the control and we are going to lack the jobs as well, it just can't happen to grow as fast just like you said. So, we can't just hope for the best and just close our eyes. We need to make sure that we are changing some laws, making it easier decision to have kids, if economy sucks, people do not want to have kids, because they know they can't afford it.

Some regions will have more jobs than others. It depends on the variety of industries that region is home to. If the government there is going backwards in civilization then companies will not invest and people will lose jobs.

You can face it, there will never be enough jobs for the number of people in this world keeps on increasing. Hence the importance of education and investing in your children's education right from the beginning to make sure they are in a position to work and earn in the near future.

But I do feel bad about people born in developing countries with less resources to start out their lives.

The increase of taxes have been a very crucial case and the government are just sitting and letting things go the way they wanted not having the masses at heart or in any thoughts, it's one thing that when such taxes undergo an increase there's an avenue for creating job opportunities which will help to balance the needs and adjustment policies that has been made. Cause if such allocations are being made there would limits of crisis, vandalism and all of that but when it isn't you find individuals becoming victims of various circumstances.

The population as increased and their is no longer a place to fit in for the increased number of population, and the number of people going to schools are also increasing the same time, and this is no longer a region problem problem but it as become a global problem, and their is no longer clue on how they want to manage because were will the jobs comes from. No adequate jobs are you guys that's the government are still taxing people and collecting money from them.

I don't think the government can help them any longer because in my own region a lot of companies are folding because of high tax, even as little as you are earning you don't have a choice than to pay tax from the little you are earning because the government actually takes tax collections seriously. They know the amount they are getting and like so countries they invest it back to the society were they go it from since thay wss the initial use for it. And this issue is becoming a problem because since the means for people to make money to take care of their self is reducing then it is leading to increase in crime because people will want to feed and their are people that might not want to do crime but just because of the condition they find their self then they will get full conviction and go and commit crime.

Tax system is supposed to keep the country running while maintaining the well being of every citizen so if someone is not making money enough to keep up the taxes then it's a sign that system is failing right?

Also if government just increase the tax and ask the citizens to pay anything they seek doesn't make sense it has to be a fair value that doesn't affect the people who pays the tax but the existing system is opposite of what it's supposed to be, it help the rich to avoid the tax while the poor has no way of getting rid of it so it needs some sort of accountability and transparency that help the balance in check.

When you are talking about jobs then you need to consider the region because their are many regions than are still suffering because of inadequate jobs availability for the people. People are suffering and the increase in tax does not really make sense and their is need for the government to provide jobs for her citizens rather than using the funds to enrich themselves. Even the blue collar jobs are not even available for the people that is why we are seeing crime rate increasing every single day. If their are enough jobs availability for the people, I don't think anyone would keep complaining about lost of jobs or inadequate supply of jobs.
