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.

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

Taxes take many forms, too. When you work at a job to make money, you pay income taxes. Depending on how much money you make, a certain percentage (part) of the money you make is withheld (kept out of your paycheck and sent to the government).

When you buy things at a store, you also usually pay sales tax, which is a percentage of the cost of the item charged by the store. If you own property, you also pay property taxes on the value of your property.

Paying your taxes is considered a civic duty, although doing so is also a requirement of the law. If you do not pay your taxes, the government agency that oversees taxes — the Internal Revenue Service or IRS — will require you to pay your taxes or else face penalties, such as fines or going to jail.

The money you pay in taxes goes to many places. In addition to paying the salaries of government workers, your tax dollars also help to support common resources, such as police and firefighters.

Tax money helps to ensure the roads you travel on are safe and well-maintained. Taxes fund public libraries and parks. Taxes are also used to fund many types of government programs that help the poor and less fortunate, as well as many schools!

Well that was a good statement. Taxes of people serves as the fund of the government to build establishment for the public such as roads, public schools, health care, and so on. The reasons why people pay taxes is it is required in order to have a fund to build such things I have mention earlier that makes our life convenient and great. We should pay taxes for the government to continue building things we need and help those who are in need.

Indeed, its our obligation as good citizen to paying taxes because government will give service to their citizen. Government building many infrastructure and thats need a lot money to start. Thats infrastructure is for our purpose and make our bussiness more easy

I agree that we have to pay taxes. But in most countries, taxes seem too high compared to earnings. A lot of tax revenues are wasted on various projects that are overpaid and can make them much cheaper. Government contracts usually turn out to be a very good source of income for a small group of people.

We pay taxes to sustain the services offered by the government. Our paid tax Also supports the improvement projects that are initiated by the government. However, the citizens are sometimes disappointed because of corruption. Our money was used by the corrupt government officials for their personal expenses. Yet, it is not reasonable not to pay tax because of this incident.

I see it more towards my duty as a good citizen, if I do not care about the state tax then there will be uncontrolled greed because only focus for personal gain, I see the tax for development and I can also use it publicly, there is a return in a mutually beneficial way and will not make me lose it because it's also part of my charity against government development.

as well as in the application of crypto taxes, it also affects their recognition of the crypto business that we have been fighting for vigorously.

Taxes are mandatory for every country to implement it. Paying taxes will also be useful for the development of a country and every citizen must pay taxes if it can not deal with the law.
yeah aside from it is mandatory, it is also one of the proof that you are a citizen of that country. Although their reasoning is that they will use that money they got to improve the country, there has been lots of unsolved mysteries and unanswered questions to where the funds are really going.

Taxes are very important to the development of our country, But not only for development it has many purposes just like the salary of the government workers but these days government officials corrupting the funds of the country and they can't provide any changes or if there's any changes it's just a small not a big positive changes Angry
We need a good leader to control the corruption that's why we are thankful here in the Philippines because our new president are very good and corrupt he is doing anything to make improvement for the philippines.
Tax is like a fuel for the government which makes the government run. Without tax, some governments cannot and are not able to finance their deficit particularly defense budget. Building schools, parks and infrastructure is also another thing that is normally financed by taxes. But if we look at countries like Dubai, where we do not have business taxes, the government only survives on the sales taxes and has covered a long distance of success. Government can apply and implement any type of strategy for the good outcome of its people.

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.

This thinking is so wrong. Your government might be corrupt but it's your duty to pay your taxes.

You're right and private sectors can do it on their own, but would you build a road on the next street that you don't even passed through? I doubt.

Government take taxes so they could provide services and benefits that could serve for the majority, not just an individual.

you pay taxes today because government needs money to operate...

Imagine if government issues cryptos and can print money themselves, then we might be heading for a tax free world

We pay taxes because as a citizen of our nation/country its our responsibility to help in our nation. By doing this we contributing a fund that will used to make buldings, constructing high ways, and support some poor people. We should do this because it will a big help to our country.

...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 ...

You make it seem like nothing great can be accomplished without government, but the reality is that most of what humanity has accomplished has been outside of the control of government, and much of the accomplishment has been done in spite of government.

It is not as if things can't be done without government but we know it is not really possible to get people together in one accord without one form organization. The organization that will be respected to carry out functions to that group. I'm saying that this is the role that "government" perform and this why taxes are levied to get the roles performed.

The government was mandated in order to protect the general public and welfare of its citizens. Aside from protection, the government's role include developing infrastructures for the country, implementing rules and regulations, imposing tax for its expenditures and maintaining education as its top of its priority. Tax is a system wherein it is enforced upon the general public as a pecuniary contribution for government needs.

Although some countries have their negative experiences with the government, that issue must be set aside as it is irrelevant from the discussion. Whether we like it or not, we still need to be diligent into paying taxes.


Yeah this isn’t only beneficial for the government rather all the citizens over the country. This takes up economic growth and make a country strong financially to produce better results for its citizens. But yes, this is dilemma too that our politicians are only filing our pockets with our tax payment and no one can stop them because they have made everything sabotage.

Taxation is used by a government to build for an economic growth, through this we have wide road, bridges and other that made by government project that was our tax contribution to them. But I think 80% or 90% on that in a project the rest are corrupting that government stuff by their own pocket. So the return to us was not exactly from collecting a tax.

Many people pay for the tax, the tax used to pay all the Government official on their job but many Government Official became more richer because they steal the money from it you can see many official are now rich because of this tax paying so better to have no tax that to pay tax that goes into a wrong person.

As far as i know the reason we pay our taxes is for our government to have funds for the expenses of the country. Those expenses are like building roads and bridges, creating funds for the salary and wages of the government employees. So do you think we should pay our taxes? Well for me it is a big YES we should. Because if we will not pay our taxes there will be no road for us to drive to there will be any bridges to walk thru. And there will be no government employees that we will serve us like there will be no police if there are violence, no fireman to kill the fire if it will occur.

The main reason why we should pay our taxes. It because taxes have big rules in a country especially on a economics. Taxes make some building like hospital and school. Taxes also payed there imploye like teacher and soldiers. Thats they said if you pay your taxes you help your self. Because all the things come from taxes is all for us and for better future
