Topic: Increase of taxes requires more job opportunities - page 3. (Read 577 times)

While inflation is visible, tax inflation is also there. But people are getting tired of paying for something that they are not seeing at all. It's sad that the government is becoming the business of the corrupt people and the people are also to blame when they elect officials that doesn't have the heart to serve. We only elect people that are popular and dear to us but we don't know the real intention that they have why they run for public offices. There is no problem in paying tax and as OP is pointing out, as long as it's put into infrastructures, public health, education, etc, it should be put all of it into every sector that will make everyone benefit from using them.

Seriously I don’t think taxes are actually a bad thing and if you listen to even those that pay it is not that they don’t want to buy they are simply just concerned about how wasteful the government actually are with the funds. If you analyze how much they waste on government runs like expenses of the government officials one wouldn’t be encouraged to pay up taxes. I have always been a supporter of reduction of government officials expenditures and before taxes increase as those unnecessary spending will cover up spaces.

Using bitcoin doesn’t mean one has to always evade tax in fact this is one of the reasons why governments doesn’t want the bitcoin, although I don’t think that one can actually evade tax completely with bitcoin. The bitcoin isn’t a allowed to been used for payment in most countries as such I think once you convert the bitcoin to your currency it incurs tax

Running a government is always a matter of weighing up your incoming with your outgoings, much like personal finances. It's nice to have "free" healthcare which places like Europe offer, however that has to be money allocated from things like income taxes and it is easy for the public sector to be more wasteful with money. However sometimes you need things like this to be managed with a bit of waste, because the alternative privatized versions are way worse and act like complete vultures. Infrastructure spending is often one of the ways that governments try to boom their way out of a bust. The best model is seen in Scandinavian countries that used their resources to build national funds which can support the public long term.

Tax is always a problem since there's no way to make people satisfied with what they pay vs what they get.
For more jobs? Maybe, but that's not what some people desire. I mean people who are extorted by income taxes already have jobs/income anyway. Maybe if there were no income taxes, people could spend more, can open more businesses, who knows?

Maybe VAT, customs, etc. are enough to build roads and infrastructures? This flawed system is why previously there were ideas to vote for "government" programs on the blockchain, like on DAO stuff, those things were quite popular in 2017 IIRC.

Yes, when a country is weak in terms of infrastructure and the government undertakes various mega projects without increasing the foreign debt of the country, it wants to improve the country in terms of infrastructure, and if the people of the country live well then the government increases taxes, so that the country can easily become a more developed state. can be turned  So raising taxes is not a bad thing if the people of the country can live comfortably. Then in that case the people of the country will accept it easily and will not try to evade taxes.

Governments will always look for ways to feed themselves and create a lot of opportunities for themselves to have access to public funds instead oof creating job opportunities to their jobless well educated and skillful youths, they are also after the little investments the youths manages to have setup and they end up not using the task to do work for the community.
I think investing on digital currencies like Bitcoin will be a good solution since you can save your Bitcoin in an external wallet that only you can have access to; if you do that, you can avoid the government with your savings and investment, and the same time you have planned against inflation and local currency devaluation.

I don't understand why this more taxes because even the previous taxes that was paid or has been paid what did said government work with it? I think Op is right because the government aren't doing their work effectively, that is why I love the US they implement and imposed taxes and yet the create job opportunities for one to work and pay their taxes with this it create a relief moment for each household or those who are working under them. Just take a look at the minimum wages they pays can't even sustain their works for the whole 30 working days and yet what they are looting is much more to what they are spending on the country.

The government was creating jobs in communism because businesses were owned by the government but the government doesn't create the infrastructure of job opportunities in the modern world because we live in capitalism where businesses are privately owned and those who have money, create the businesses and more job opportunities.
We have seen the result of communism and capitalism. It's clear that communism doesn't work because it's human nature to be greedy but capitalism and a healthy competition work for our benefit.

From what I understood, OP is trying to demonstrate that the balance between governments offerings jobs to people versus the government ordering taxation from the people needs to be maintained.

This unfortunately will make the common man suffer. Governments appear to do the first option in short periods of time but the market for jobs is also limited and the second option will always continue to rise, no matter what happens.

In some countries where government attempts to appease the public by bribing them, taxation goes beyond the roof to pay that while jobs keep dwindling. It is the basis of the problems in many developing countries.

If the government wants to increase taxes, they should increase the employee salary and decrease the primary needs price. The government can create more job opportunities so more people can have job and earn money to pay the tax and for living. We admitted that living cost will increase from time to time so if their salary is not increase, they will difficult to survive and they can not pay the tax. It needs awareness from the government to always check their people lives and not just sit in their office and talks about increasing the tax, people should survive in a hard situation without doing something that can help their people.

While tax hikes can surely make life more difficult, fiscal policies do not always pinch the people only. For example, many governments are investing in sectors such as clean energy and infrastructure that will create jobs and thereby enhance the general economy. In various European and Asian countries, infrastructure projects have proved to boost economic activity and jobs that can offset the immediate effects of higher taxes.

Also, focusing solely on the creation of jobs perhaps is not enough. Without government spending in places such as health and transport, the workforce would have bigger problems, given such industries usually are plagued by talent shortages. So, while we should keep an eye on how those policies affect us, it's not always some simple case of "more taxes, fewer benefits."

I completely agree with the idea that government should focus on creating jobs and supporting private sector income growth rather than increasing taxes to increase public revenue. It is critical that governments understand the long-term effects of fiscal policy on the ability of average citizens to survive and prosper.

Instead of increasing tax, the government can consider other policy measures for example, when they invest in infrastructural projects that create jobs or issue grants and subsidies to small-scale businesses. Public income is used to balance with private wealth better performance by citizens in economic activities.

Poor administration indeed that govt is it seems more concerned with exploring its own resources. as you pointed out Instead of equipping the citizens with all the enabling tools and incentives They must thrive to win.


An important point you raise there. Reliance of the state alone in creating employment has both its unemployment and longer term problems because, especially where creative and growing unions are not encouraged, such strategy may lead to long-term economic loss. The role of the state is to create an environment in which the private sector can flourish as well. At the same time, we must ensure that everybody has access to it. This is particularly the case in areas where markets cannot be feasibly attained.

There should be a good balance between the two sectors in creation. Public sector employment might be critical in providing an essential service. Growth, however is probably going to be more sustainable from the private sector when driving long-term economic growth. Ideally, the governments should provide infrastructures and policies that make business thrive without overtaxing the citizenry. Sending taxes without a fair return into the economy can stifle growth and hurt the very reason it was sent to grow.

The issue lies not just in the creation of jobs but in how one can cope with and distribute the newfound wealth among all to take advantage of the boom.

If you want to end up poor, yes, the thing to do is to rely on the state to raise taxes to create jobs instead of leaving job creation to the private sector. This is not to say that there should not be a part of public employment, but relying on the government to create and organize employment is what has led to the most disastrous system that has always caused millions of deaths, political repression, exodus, hunger and misery.

There are two things here: tax rate and unemployment rate. Tax rate is decided by government tax policy and it barely changes. Unemployment rate depends on a national economic status and even global economic conditions too. In a flat world nowadays, one nation can not be unaffected if other big nations have troubles with their economies.

Tax rate can be increased or reduced by governments but it usually does not relate to Unemployment rates or Job opportunities. If governments want more money for their governmental machines and staffs, they will charge citizens more money in tax. In Western countries, if citizens don't like this tax increase policy, they will have to wait till a next President election to vote that party out. In dictator countries, citizens have no choices to change governmental policies, except if they make a Color Revolution.

Governments often justify tax hikes as necessary for public projects or economic development, but they must also ensure that citizens can benefit through job creation and other income-generating opportunities. Without such balance, the average person faces rising costs of living without adequate means to cope, which ultimately widens the gap between the wealthy and the working class.

It's concerning when governments focus primarily on revenue collection without addressing the needs of those most affected by these policies. Job creation, investment in local businesses, and support for innovation are critical to ensuring that the economy remains robust and that people have the means to thrive rather than just survive.

I think a solution to this is on the part of government shoving down the cost of running public offices and their numerous aide's services. All of these requires more and more taxes to keep them running and for what?  Consequently, the government would have to stop sponsoring and giving supports to certain wars elsewhere, because all of these are being being burdened on tax payers. Example, the Ukraine - Russian conflict, the Isreal - Hamas war. And it's possible that a time will surely come when many citizens would deliberately want to invade tax as the economy bites harder with a rising inflation.

Since this topic is not directed to me one country but it n a general bases, the issue of taxation can differs from countries to country because at some state or region, tax payers get the services for they money and also the government provides infrastructure development that help the citizens to achieve their financial goals there by paying off the tax without any frustrations.

Unlike some me other countries where there is high rate of corruption and high rate of unemployment and underemployment which have drain their citizens and plug them into high levels of poverty which have resulted into they incapacitated to pay tax, so comparing both countries in one context can mislead our thoughts on this topics.

In a country like where I'm from where we don't pay property tax and other forms of unnecessary tax, which could have resulted in convicting someone for tax invasion,
 
I don't see anything too wrong with the tax system and how it has contributed to hardship since someone is required to pay tax based on how they earn in this country, so if there's anyone who is unable to gather up enough money to foot bills, that shouldn't be because of tax policy but rather the person should work hard to increase their income.

Taxes are on the increase mainly because these days it requires more money to set up infrastructure and keep a country running. More people will become unable to keep up with paying taxes because their expenses have been forced to increase, and they have less for all bills. More people will face the danger of being convicted for tax fraud or evasion because people who even considered paying taxes before and took it as a priority will have their priority changed due to the hardship induced by increased taxes.

Technically for the government to impose formats of increasing fiscal policies to the account of public funds, that should also demand reviewing of the funding liquidation that generates earnings for the individual masses because the consequences of such development is increments on tax enforcement leading to hike cost of living and while individuals faces stagnation time to survive at its course, it distabilizes the average or less citizens incomes.

Instead of the governments to create infrastructures of job opportunities to also expatiate individual source of earning opportunities to balance the economy being, they would play ignorant about this welfare of the people while technically on the mandate of just concerned in creating more wealth for themselves in disguise of public funds.

So, there should always be necessities of reviewing how the masses would fit in with new developments else the people would perish on hard labours while encountering legal extortions from their governments.
