i'm not saying that no one should pay taxes, i'm saying that i want to pay for what i use, not for what others use, why i should pay for the privileges of the other?
In economics, there is a term called "public good", which has to be paid for through taxes or collections from individuals, whether they use the good or not. Consider a street with ten houses with a streetlight. A particular user (say X) might claim that he does not want to pay for the streetlight because he does not use it. But it is impossible to deny him the benefit of the streetlight, even if he does not pay for it. Moreover, because X benefits from the streetlight does not mean that the remaining users are negatively impacted in any way (the resource does not decrease because X uses it).
These "public goods" have to be financed through taxes; there is no other way.
well that is wrong for me, this is not fair at all, and it is the reason why i hate taxes, and because of this i will make everything in my power to avoid paying tax as much as possible, on every little things
your example is more biased because streetlight are everywhere(so i actually need them too), but there are things that i'm not using at all anymore, like bus in the city, or subway like i said, i'm travelling only with my bicycle
so why i should pay for something that i'll never use? no sense, if they don't want to fix this, i'm going to evade in some way, i don't care
