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.
We pay taxes because of those public students that will be benifited there are free schools because of us because we pay taxes all those money will be given to the schools to the teachers as a form of salary that in exchange into their teaching. And some are given to other government employees of course not all of us eanted to pay taxes but that is a law so we need to obey it for us to be safe and not inside the prison. But thanks to bitcoins we now have somehow a freedom because some taxes are being given into corrupt government officials
