The problem is where are we without tax. The whole system needs to be maintained with something. Whether or not certain people are corrupt and abuse their position to use tax for the wrong reasons this doesnt change that fact that tax would still be needed to keep the overall system and infrastructure running. Without this global system that has been build through decades of taxation we wouldnt even be here talking about blockchain. This doesnt mean that tax is good or bad, it seems neccesairy and the problem is that there are people that either use it in a good or bad way.

Having said that it seems that blockchain could be very usefull in this system it can add transparancy and more accountability to those that actually deal with the tax money and also give people a better understanding where their money is actually used for.

I don't care about the taxes I paid until I have learned the harsh truth that the politicians are just benefiting from everyone's money. I know a lot of people are thinks the same thing. Only a portion of our money are going to government project the others just goes to the politicians pockets (3 years ago) . Good thing thing we have President who's anti corrupt and doesn't care about the money. Hopefully he will be able to fix things before his term ends.

Graft and corruption are evidently happening in every countries in the world. The government are accused to use the money of the people for their own personal benefits. However, we cannot end taxation for them not to commit those. I believe that if we stop taxatiin or paying taxes, our own countries won't achieve its growth as it improves today. National projects will not be accomplished if we do not have laws about taxation. If that's so, then we still do benefit from the taxes we are paying.

Tax is the imposing currency on the daily nessessities
Most of the time we don't even know what the taxes being collected by the government is really being used for since they don't provide any account of it to the taxpayers but i believe we deserve to know what it's being used, most of the time, they just squander the tax money for their own purposes.

As a citizen of our country, taxation or paying taxes is our contribution for the development and improvement of our country.  And Yes! We all benefit from the taxes that we are paying.  Because the taxes that we pay carries out many functions.  From pavement of roads, building bridges, public transportation, building hospitals, building of public schools and improvement of educational system,  electricity, water, waste management system, public utilities, infrastructures, jobs, improving of financial and economic status, and etc.  

The disappointing part is when corrupt government officials pockets or steals money that is supposed to be for its citizens.

Well i thinl both, its still depend on the government but tax use to be a salary though from the word tax itself a must pay. This would help our community and it can help too such as it can help the workers on our government , the building like the hospital , police and different station.

So i think the benefits go to the both participants.

Here in our country mostly the people are paying taxes but they cannot benefit from the taxes that they are paying , the politicians here benefits most of the peoples taxes. They have been corrupting the taxes and goes to their own pockets. People here in our country that pays taxes are complaining but the politicians are the ones who are in lead. Thus they don't have the right to complain. Politicians here are just like banks , they steal all the taxes that our people have been paying.

Well let's think about it.... At least here in the UK the tax pays for;

1. Universal healthcare
2. Unemployment benefits
3. Maintenance of the roads and streets
4. Water sanitation systems
5. Defense
6. Police, ambulance and fire services

Do you think that you would have any of those without paying taxes?

Of course not. However, I still have not a clear idea what you mean by "defence"... Perhaps the act of bombing countries like Iraq on the false pretext of non existent WMDs?

The tax must be paid by each company.This tax is paid to the state.Every company is obliged to pay, if the tax isn't paid, the higher fines are followed.Every man who opens his own business must pay the state tax.For different job, a different price is the tax.There are some smaller companies that are hiding, they don't pay taxes, and for what they do are followed by huge penalties.

It really depends on the country and the politicians who actually lead it. I know of countries who tax their workforce about 50 percent of their salary but they don't have to pay for their hospitalization, medical bills, tuition fee up to college and the government would even provide you with money if you're in between jobs. I mean if i plainly see that my taxes go somewhere then i will gladly pay them and even give some extra. But when you see politicians whose riding on these flashy cars and living in mansions, then heck no

It depends in the country you live in and depends in the kind of government you have. Tax money must definitely goes to people. As I can see, there is a lot of improvements here in our country in terms of infrastructure, livelihood program for the poor, public schools, public health centers and even the 4Ps program for the poor. The key is to be vigilant and try to observe around you if your government really doing any projects and programs for the benefits of the voting public. If not, then your government is a corrupt kind of government.

Of course we have to pay taxes, without taxes the government can not run the country. Because tax is the main income of the country which is then managed for the financing and routine expenditure of the country. The government also uses taxes for the financing of services to the public such as public facilities
I agree with your opinion. Let us not be too demanding rights, regardless of our obligations as citizens. Good roads, good school facilities that is one proof of government services to us as citizens.
Because the government needs a fee to make good public facilities.

It depends where you live. Where I live, personally, there isn't any real advantage by paying taxes. The services don't have quality, the public workers are rude and stupid, the corruption levels are high and only a political elite have benefits from it as they use their influence and power to put who they want to work on important sectors and companies of the country, as most of them belong to the state.

Even the oil is expensive here, what doesn't make sense, as the oil is explored here in big quantities by statal company, so it should be cheap at least...

Taxes are needed to maintain the government as in the capitalist society. But it should not be the government's main income. More production in the country can reduce the taxes from people. So the government need to have a good economic policies to increase the gross production by using the tax income while giving the services to the people in health, education and defense areas.

Taxation is one of the means by which the state achieves its functions, compulsorily and gratuitously. Can effectively adjust the national income redistribution, and promote the flow of factors of production, guide the optimal allocation of resources, to promote economic growth and industrial upgrading, the root cause is that the ruling class in order to meet the requirements of rule.

The main point of taxation is that it provides funds for the public goods or services that people generally need. Without taxes, many public services, such as public safety, education and public health, will not be met by charitable donations from a small number of people. Of course, paying taxes does not necessarily mean a satisfactory public service. As to why, this involves a lot of problems.
