While it is easier to pay taxes, and "that's it", there is a massive part of corruption in the government, and I'm sure we all understand that not all taxes are used to "build roads".

Anyhow we live in a country that's certainly without tax... the country will not advance and cannot support in terms of development and lack of sense of togetherness/caring for the country. Moreover basically the tax is from the people by the people and for the people, as well as in the crypto, though it is not legal yet.. I think it would be good if we set aside money to pay taxes after cashing 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. Wasteful government expenditure of the governments must be cancelled by the taxpayers.

Actually taxes help to change the country to become a better like other country do... By paying taxes it help alot to the people to dont have enough income because the taxes that we payed for the government it use to sustain other needs. And also it help to create mo project for the country.

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.
Yes, rightfully we are all supposed to pay out tax. But my question is are the government really making use of that money we are contributing to do what they are supposed to do? Well, I know you thought about that twice before coming up with any answer you might have given yourself now. To hit the point, the answer is a NO.

They are not using it to do what they are supposed to do, and when they are doing what they are supposed to do, then it’s of no use paying tax to the government.

Yes, I believe we should but the tax should not be so high at all. It should just be a dirtcheap contribution for every individual because it hurts for me to see our taxes get stolen by corrupted officials in the government who can easily take millions with some manipulation.
High or not, I do not consider anything tax from my part. My country has never helped in anyway, as rich as my country is, the corrupt politicians won't just let it develop as they keep stashing and looting funds. Facilities are hard to find and when you are well to do, you will end up having to provide that for yourself eventually. If I cannot get all the things that are necessary from my government, why should I then pay my tax ? It sounds ridiculous as this should be a mutual benefit, you pay me, and I pay you back as long as I see the value for what I am paying.

I think the problem is ifbthe constituents of a government doesn't see where their hard earned taxes are going. I mean if the government will yake half of my salary but I won't ever have to worry about health care, education, employment and the government services are immaculate then I'll gladly pay for it.

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.

I believe that it was a theft because not all the governments are really using the funds for the country but it is going on their pockets and that is the reason why there are people today who are choosing cryptocurrency because in this way they can earn more income.
Actually if the government are really good at investing the money they gathered from taxes and industrialize the whole country, they can free people from taxes, but whatever, a country's annual income from taxes are set to achieve certain target and that's why they will never stop taxing us. However, I'm not really bothered as long as they can use the tax money properly, otherwise, it's theft as you said.

honestly when you are paying the tax, the money goes to the government which then takes that money to utilize it in the infrastructure development and make the country a better place to live in with every  day to pass us by. But also, some amount of money is also given to the enlistment of the poor the subsidies that they get are from the money that we pay. The schooling facilities that the poors' child gets comes from the taxes that we pay.

Taxes are mandated by the government and it is part of the law of each country to pay the appropriate taxes. Mostly this is done by legal entities who are registered in the Bureau of Internal Revenue and every transactions are all declared to the goverment so the taxes should be complied otherwise the legal entity would be charges with penalties and could result to cancellation of permits etc.

Yes we should to paying the tax because its part to become civilized nation ,while maybe our government don't do the best job of handling our taxes, they are a very important part of our country. We are citizens of this country and therefore have a right to participate and help the country run. By getting rid of taxes, we take away our sense of belonging and community.

I agree. Though many people define tax as a burden, but one should consider it as a way to help bridge the needs of the people and the capability of the government to fill in the gap. Without taxes, how can the government implement projects for the community? Without taxes, how can the public servants attend to the needs of their constituents? You see, these are just few instances how taxes play a vital role in our community. The tax we pay, may it be direct or indirect, is the blood of the government. Without it, I don't think it's possible to carry out their future plans for the country. That's how significant taxes are. With its necessity, it should be handled well by capable individuals.

No matter how we criticize the existing taxation system, it is necessary to pay taxes on a par with. At least because failure to pay taxes is considered a serious crime in every country and, as a rule, depending on the size of non-payment, is punishable by imprisonment. If you do not want to feel uncomfortable and constantly feel anxious about the possible consequences of not paying the tax, then it is better to pay it, keep your health. In addition, failure to pay taxes by many people will lead to chaos in society, national programs, social projects will not be financed and implemented, and the standard of living will fall.

Because paying taxes is one of the responsibilities of being a good citizen of a country. Tax is the blood of the government. It keeps the country running smoothly. It pays for the roads and infrastructures, the government employees even healthcare for the indigent. Paying taxes only means that we are under the sovereignty of the government.

Personally, I do not pay any taxes on income received in cryptocurrency. The state is doing everything to make us more and more poor, so I will not pay taxes in any case.

I think the government's purpose of drawing taxes from its people is to build the economy of the country itself, whose rules are the result of taxes used to finance every domestic need, such as building infrastructure, education, health and others as it, but greatly pity if corruption still exists.
