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 are mandatory to all people who lives in that certain country, that all people should abide this law. Because this laws has amended that any one found failure to comply their contribution to the government by paying taxes will be charges a case and punishable by law.

Tax is a compulsory levy that people pay for the state and will be used for the benefit of the government and the general public. Taxes are important if the government needs to work so that if someone cheats while paying taxes, then he will be punished by legal action.

I do not see the reason why anyone should pay tax.This is because those in responsible positions are no more responsible. They do not handle our tax contributions like responsible leaders.They just steal our taxes in a professional way and cover their back so they get away with it.we are still left with so many things lacking in our communities.

No disputing about the real reasons why tax is very necessary. But situations where the government are diverting the tax funds and also the roads and other social amenities are not working well, this invalidates the essence of the tax payments.
yes some country's government are not responsible as they should but pay taxes are important for country's development and that's why people should pay it because there are many social work in country, so government should enforce to those people who are rich and they can pay taxes because some time government enforce average people to pay taxes and that is not right because they cannot pay it so that is why bitcoin is the good way for them and they can easy their life, so after earning of a lot of bitcoin they will be a rich person and able to pay taxes.

Formally if the governments discussed the rules of taxes of bitcoin I agreed because taxes is the big help of the country to maintain peaceful , build infrastructures or health.Money of peoples paying make it sure used it into a proper way.
I have not heard of countries that accept bitcoin as tax yet. You have to pay it at your own currency at the moment. Yes, you are right that taxes are used by government to pay for the salary of government employee that maintain peace and order, build hospitals and maintain it. The visible projects that we see that government is doing is the roads and infrastructure.

We pay taxes for security, infrastructure, transportation, and comfortably live. Today if we live in our countries peacefully with armies protecting us then we have to pay them taxes for their services. Of course these seem logical in today’s system. On the other hand we should question the system with all it’s rules and regulations, but these are other long discussions.

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.

dude I hate how my government is running the country too but how come you think that way? If you'll be the president of the country (and assuming you're not corrupt) how would you run the country without any budget?

You think roads and military funds are the only ones your taxes go through? What do you think runs the home care for elders? Your health benefits?

Stop evading taxatiom as it could help you someday bruv.
Well, if you differ from his opinion you have all the right to do so, but where have you been? That opinion while not very common in other places is not that uncommon here, in fact if you read the comments and principles of the people that envisioned something like bitcoin many years before satoshi accomplished it you will see very similar opinions.

Your reasons are good, but in some countries these taxes are going in pocket of corruptical politics, so it has two sides

I really do not know why other people are still clueless where their tax goes. Okay, I can't blame them if their government has no transparency on their projects. You should not evade paying tax because it hurts the economy. The only problem is that it depends on the government how they will use the funds and sometimes there are greedy politicians who will steal those funds for themselves. Tax is essential for running a country and sometimes hurts the people because money is not spent wisely.

In crypto currency, most people do not pay taxes and even many governments do not have proper taxes on their taxes. the use of which is why the government is trying to ban the use because if it continues for a while it will cause an economic disaster in the country.
but as the color of a good country, I think we have to pay taxes because it's income for the country.

We all should be paying taxes and not feel bad about it. Maybe we cannot notice it but everything the government build is paid using our taxes and its good to see that we help to build our own nation. Politicians just made it worst by corrupting it but that is just an isolated case. Free education, free hospitalization, what more can you ask for.
This is actually one of the reasons why I really do not pay tax in my country anyway, although normal citizens are not usually being pursued as regards tax law, even though the law is generally there. However, in the case where you have to generate almost everything yourself, the government in position just there to do whatever they like and mess all things up, then I am pretty sure paying tax is more like showing how dumb I must be.

If all these things are in place, I honestly would not mind doing so. But, like most other countries, in my country also, the tax money is not being handled properly. Mos of the tax money is being wasted by politicians through various corruptions. When my all tax money will be used for building my country more stronger then I feel I will not go and hide from paying taxes on time.

The reason why we pay taxes is to help the government to run for the public purposes. And of course to sustain the government for public services and for the building of the infrastructure for the future and of course the reason why we pay taxes is for the benefits also of the people live in the country the government do their job to protect the people using the taxes payed by the individual if taxes extinct the government definitely see will collapse the role of paying taxes is to maintain the peace and order of every people in return of paying taxes.

At times, I wonder why most people will like to be forced before they make justice to the payment of their tax. The good lightning we enjoy, better schooling, affordable drinking water, safe delivery of healthcare services to the sick at the hospital are all into existence through the taxes we pay to the government. Some people think those in authorities use the monies but I stand to tell that the monies are used to undertake developmental projects for the country as a whole

If everyone went ahead to do things personally then there won't be any scope of a systemized channel and possibilities of having endless problems won't be able to be ruled out , at the end of the day people are different everyone's different thus it's not easy for someone to say something like this . This seems like an argument of a 2 year old , since the system is what keeps everyone together and in check .
Democrats are not mad that they have invented this since thousand of years also you should know that if given chance to people will run away from doing any good for other rather than they are more or less set on themselves and it won't be able to provide for a linear future for others .
It's not as easy as it seems even though it might be fancy but it's no child play to run a government that big, we cannot be like ramapithecus since we have literally more cranial capacity that old animal is long gone and humans have evolved and more or less there are bad people around here too ... We cannot just let them do as they please a government body is a must to take care of all the decisions because leaving decisions of that big of a country on everyone without any further details will turn out to be a big mess because everyone will have thier own point of view and the majority point of view will be more or less targeted by the ones in the minority.
Tell me will you make road all by yourself when it's needed using your money ? Altogether your money ?
It's not possible dude . It is just a recipe of chaos.

Haha, thousand years, taxes invented hundred years ago, it's new system that shakes rich guys to pay like 60% of their earnings in some countries, and is it fair for them?

What happens if you are in a third world country and there is massive corruption? You pay taxes and there are no roads, schools, or any essential public utilities. What you do see is the politicians and their cronies getting richer. Would you still argue that everybody should continue paying taxes?

Of course not, but we have to cut the root cause of the problem and that's corruption, if we can obtain a better and trustworthy politicians who aims to help the community and money is less prioritized I think we can soon have a better country. We usually dont see the essence of paying taxes since we only focus in the thing that it deducts our salaries, but in reality it was the reason to a better public infrastructures and services.

That’s truth that we need to pay our taxes. It’s also fair enough that in some countries government may compromise itself with inappropriate using of this money, which may push people to refuse paying what they obligated to. Yep, that is one of numerous reasons why corruption is a bad thing. Despite that, we do need to pay taxes, at least those, which comes with a salary from our regular job.
Moreover, refusing of paying taxes never was a way to fight corruption.
