Taxation is theft. ""But who will build the roads"" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.
As for me I can say this is so obvious and easy to pay taxes because I'm a citizen of my country and we have a law that you need to pay taxes, it cannot be different from that.

This should not put in deliberation, the taxes that we are paying are not a burden for us but it is for our own good and we should not question it anymore, if no taxes I don't think that we will have a good nation, or peace and order around us, it is a big help to our nation don't take it negatively.

Every institution needs financial stability in this capitalist world to continue in its mandate. The same is with a country, as an institution it needs finances which are mainly acquired through taxes. When the people complain about taxes its mainly because of:
1. low minimum wage in a country which makes people feel as if they are being reaped of their hard earned money.
2. lack of proper sensitization of the importance of taxation to the public. Wgich creates an information gap between governments and the public on this topic.
3. lack of leadership in public resource management, in accountability and in allocation of these public funds.

So saying that its theft is more of a subjective point.

Taxes are just gasoline needed by the vehicles to move. Same thing with the government, it needs a budget to accomplish its duty for the people. Examples are infrastracture, health, defense, government agencies' tasks for the community, etc.

Taxes are fuels to our government.

Most of the government's income comes from taxes, so most of the money we pay in taxes goes to the construction of our country and the construction of our living infrastructure.

Assessments are vital if a legislatures need to work so in the event that somebody is bamboozling while at the same time paying the expenses then he will be rebuffed with lawful actions.In cryptographic forms of money the majority of the general population are not paying charges and even numerous administrations don't have legitimate duties for its utilization that is the reason the administrations are attempting to boycott the use since it if proceeds for some time then it will cause prudent fiasco in that nation.

Taxes actually have a positive purpose, such as the development and structuring of the city. but sometimes its human resources take advantage of this, corrupt in any way. The person in the tax offiice already has a salary that is more than enough but the greed that makes them become corruptor.
corruption makes people feel angry and reluctant to pay taxes. they assume the taxes they are paying instead are being used by people who are not responsible for their personal interests.
corruption will become very dangerous in the development process of a country. funds that should be used to build various facilities but misused. the availability of public facilities will be hampered.

of course taxes must be paid, because it is used for the common good. well, but still many people do not want to pay taxes, because they feel it is not important, and moreover it is not in the feel. well, but as good citizens, we have to pay taxes legally.

If you are walking on the road and enjoying a nice day at the nearby park it's all because someone paid their taxes.
Taxes helps a lot , I have seen people frowning over about how they don't want to pay any taxes and as such.
Government ensures that if you earn over a certain amount then for sure you can contribute in the making of your country. It's only if you are able to.
Taxes helps in :

    Paying the salary of government employees
    Making of roads
    Public schools
    Parks run by the government
    Maintenance fees
    Making government hospitals
    Making high schools ... The list is endless

We all use all these services at one part of the life or other therefore we can just consider it a little payment for that .
People frown how government is corrupt , it is but not entirely if it was then you woont see new projects coming up in your town or city.

It's just our responsibility to pay taxes, we shouldn't run from it because it will more or so be used for everyone out there in your country , you are indirectly helping others too through paying them , the less advantageous ones.

Also one might say government can print all the money they need , but that's not the case ..the more money a government prints the lower the value of their currency gets which genrally have adverse effects in many sectors.
Taxes aren't meant for burden for those who are working. It has other purpose that we often miss. Most of the time, our taxes are being used for scholarships, infrastractures and for anything that will help the country's innovation. We should always be honest and pay our tax in time so that we can atleast help our country and our fellow country men little by little.

The thing is that most of the tax money goes to pay off the interest on bonds.  The government has to constantly keep going deeper into debt or the whole system will collapse.  It's extremely unfair that the government socializes the losses and privatizes the gains.

The reason we pay taxes is because it is mandated by the government and it is included in the by laws. If wr tax evades the government might sued us for the unremitted taxes. As a citizen of my country we are obliged to pay taxes even if we do not want to.

We should do our obligations for our country by paying taxes because it is the bloodlife of our government which can make our safety and maintenance  such as schools, hospitals and other public areas that we can benefit on it.

Tax gets misused many times like funding NASA "planet mars mission". There are more meteorite hits on Mars than on Earth but they are spending tax payers multi-million dollars on Mars missions.

Funny things like this makes someone thinks that the leaders are just spending the money as they seem it fit whether its impacting directly to the citizens or not. I wonder the amount of funds that would that would have been expended in the research and finding of energy in another planet that we all know we are not going whether now or in the future.

However, to say all of the money used for all of this is only from taxes would be wrong. Government generate money from other sources through import and export sources. For countries that have advantages in certain commercial products tend to sell abroad for huge amount of money while those with the right amount of population tend to be import dependent and generate money on that. Tax is really not optional and by definition, its not commensurate to what you see as some expenditure would bring direct effect whereas others would bring indirect and long term benefits.
Yeah, I still don't get of others point saying that our taxes are being corrupted by the government officials, like who are they to conclude tho? The sidewalk where you walk, the park you've been stand by for a time, the traffic enforcers who regulate the high ways they are made and all paid by our taxes. Ever wonder why few countries has a astronomical facility? because the taxes that citizens paid is large enough to have that kind of thing.

Our responsibility is to pay taxes so that the country can develop and we will be together with it. Therefore, it is a good tax, but you need to be able to pay taxes as much as you want.

Taxes are a tribute to the social community. Redistribution between those who work and those who can not work, for various reasons. There are commercial spheres, but there are socially significant ones. Taxes are an integral part of society.
