(I am talking as an European) Personally, I think that taxes are necessary to have (almost free) roads, police, education, healthcare and all the publics infrastructure. If taxes were not existing we would have to pay private companies to protect us, get basic education etc or the current "developed" countries would be war zones with uneducated / crazy people in the streets. At the end, the money you spend on taxes (and so on public services) is the money you don't spend on private services.
But I admit that with all the corruption scandals that popped lately people are feeling like the money they earned is wasted by politicians...

why when politicians and tax advisors claim that taxes exist to help the people they live and tax the poor? What benefits did they get from him? The worst part is how people like you to slaughter the middle class and always try to find out to take all their money rather than spreading the tax evenly so the rich also have to pay the real part.
It is depends on the situation of the government you live in, if you are living in a country were government is ruled by corrupt officials of course as an abiding citizen you will feel anxious in paying your taxes because you will realize nothing is happening in your local funds they all going into the pockets of corrupt politicians were as in a less corrupted government where good projects are being implemented for the welfare of its citizen most likely you will feel assured that your taxes paid are being used to develop the economy of your country as well as the safety of its people.
I'm not afraid to pay taxes, I'm afraid of the people who will take it and whether the right projects will go.
I agree! Taxes are good for our country but the problem is the leadership that manages the people's wealth. Many of them in their own pockets put the people's tax and it was a huge burden for the development of the country.
No, I think not all, it depends on the awareness and love of the country, I'm not afraid of taxes because I'm sure all government and state expenses are mostly from taxes.
So what are you saying? Are you saying that if we love our country, then we should pay our taxes? I would disagree with that logic. Loving your country doesn't mean allowing the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to suck the life blood out of you. You can better spend that money in some charity organization or for giving education to the poor people.

Taxes are no more a great thing than a band of thieves robbing a whole village and then using some of the loot to pay for a homeless family's dinner and shelter. It's still theft and it's still wrong.
Hey bro I'm sure there are a couple countries in Africa with no taxation. Have fun, you won't be missed.

I don't know why ppl are always scared of paying taxes.
taxes are actually a great thing but only if everyone pays them and if they are spend on useful things only. Just look out your window and you will see lots of things paid with your taxes you use everyday.

I think it's just simply because they are scared that their taxes would just make the politicians wallet fat. Taxes are supposed to be used for social and public development, it should be used where people would benefit because it's their money. However, some politicians are corrupt, they are using the people's taxes for their own sake.
Probably because they feel that paying taxes is unnecessary, whereas paying taxes is a liability. At least we as citizens already enjoy the facilities provided by the state. Where can countries get money for public facilities that we use if we do not pay taxes?

It is all because to think that great portion of your salary goes to tax. That amount that was paid to tax can make a big difference to your living. It can actually buy many things and can improve your life. But because of tax, and we are obliged to do so, we hate it. And most of the times, we cannot see any improvement in our surroundings.

People with less income usually pay a greater percentage of taxes than wealthy and powerful people. It's not about being afraid.taxes are actually a great thing but only if everyone pays them and if they are spend on useful things only.

Your statement was quite good and correct. Getting taxes to anyone or citizens for me it is a legal law. Where all countries implemented this things according to your source of profit. The bigger profit you have is the bigger taxes you need to pay too.
They are scared of taxes because they don't want to see a large chunk of their monthly earnings taken by the government especially when they really don't know what exactly they use all those money for.
People are not scared of paying taxes but people have doubt with the government official with the corruptions! where will our taxes go? in the developemnt of the country or wealth of those crocodile ?
I think most of the afraid of paying taxes especially if u live in corrupt country...but as a citizen of my country that's is our duty to pay taxes..saw its up to the government how it be more pavorable to the people...
Well its possible that people are just tired of seeing nothing being realized with the taxes that they pay. It's not being afraid since we all have an obligation to pay taxes. If governments can just actually put to good use where people can feel that their taxes are going somewhere, then i don't think taxes will be brought in a negative light

people are not scared of taxes.. they are scared of what becomes of their taxes. In many countries corruptions levels are quite high, and the taxes are ultimately losing their "purpose" which is to be re-invested into the community and make it grow (hospitals, roads, infrastructure etc.) the problem is many governments are pocketing the money, so people are reluctant to pay them in the first place. This is one interesting thing that BTC and other crypto's might solve, the fact that they are decentralized greatly contributes to reducing this kind of corruption

Well I think, it depends on what country. Like in my country for example, the government has been known for being corrupt and their way is by taxes. So, people are assuming that if bitcoin were to have tax, the same thing will happen.

People are scared of taxes because goverments lavy taxes unfairly. These vicious behavior of governmants makes people scare of taxes. Unfair taxes make people live in a poot lifesytle for sure.
We are not afraid of taxes, We're just waste our hard earned money because our taxes are not using for good things by government projects, it is hard earned money tax goes to pocket of corrupt politicians
I don't care as long as the tax rates remain reasonable. But here in India, the taxes are always going up and it has reached the breaking point now. A few years back, the tax on broadband bill was 12%. Later it was increased to 12.36% and then to 14%. A year back it was increased to 16%. After the GST was introduced, the rates climbed to 18%. Where is this going to stop? At 90%?
