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.

People are afraid of taxes because I think it is a form of theft. In my country, we do not see the good outcome with our taxes, everything just goes to the pockets of these politicians.

People are really scared on this issue. According to Credit Karma report, fewer than 100 Americans out of the 250,000 who have already filed federal taxes have reported their cryptocurrency assets to the IRS. This figure might be cause for concern for the US tax authorities. Thus far, figures show that about 57 percent of the 2000 Americans that took part in the survey had made some gains via crypto.

I am happy to pay my taxes

I would be happy to pay taxes... voluntarily. Otherwise it's a robbery.

...if they are spend on useful things only...

Robbery - the crime of taking or attempting to take something of value by force or threat of force Wink

Good day sir! Allow me to express my thoughts about robbery. It cannot be argued that robbery is done by force and since a person is not asked by force technically by definition it's not robbery that is done by the corrupt and greedy politicians. And you are correct. We may just call it stealing though. And its usually done in silent mode. Yet I don't oppose paying taxes, but only for those whose hands are so big to grasps it all.

tax is not bad, but not more than 10% of all incomes

It's quite easy, the only reason why we fear or taxes, or fear anything for that matter, is that we don't understand it as much as we would want to to became confident. I mean before, we fear a solar eclipse but now that we know better we even await it and watch it with awe. Studying, researching and really getting into taxes will help you get over that fear. Even, you can legally bend the laws to your favor to get out of paying you taxes and increase you tax rebates.

I agree that taxes are a great thing! But in my country I see bad roads, dirty streets and a bad medecine outside the window. I also see expensive cars, suits and government houses. I respect taxes but do not like their way.

People are scared of taxes simply because the earnings that they have is not enough for it to be taxed. It will be easy and convenient for the people if they weren't required to pay taxes. So in conclusion, people are not happy when the money they worked hard for gets deducted by the government. They are more angry than upset.

People are scared of taxes because it would be a decrease in their salary. Taxes would also mean a big sacrifice to their pockets.

I guess it's innate to humans that when something important is taken away from us, we think or feel negatively at first. Arguably, that's why we don't like taxes in our payslips or receipts because we feel that the government is taking away a chunk of our money. However, when you look at the bigger picture,
we benefit from the roads and infrastructures that were created because of our taxes. On the other hand, there are projects that do not meet our expectations as consumers. After all, we should get our money's worth, right? This results to a cloud of doubt to whether our taxes are truly spend wisely by the government.

Well who wants to be rob legally? where you can't do anything but accept it, I would agree to pay for it if my taxes will be used for development of my country not to the pockets of a the greedy government official.

That's unfair. A lot of it does go towards the development and maintenance of the country. But just like charities individuals within the system will abuse it.

it may sound unfair but its really happening, especially if you're living in the third world country where things like this normally happens, basing on my experience, though I'm not really generalizing.

I'm not scared paying my taxes because in my opinion it's a big help to our country the taxes that they deducted to me as long they use it in a good way like putting up a school, bridge, etc and use to help other people whose in need. Without tax how our country be successful country, get help to other country nahhh yes we need help or support to other country but as a citizen of my own country I should be the one in helping my country and one way of helping and support my country is to pay the right amount of tax.

I do not see anything wrong with taxes. But there is a problem in that in some countries taxes are collected too big and almost all that is possible. And all would be fine - but where are they going? Infrastructure as before does not develop and similar things.

for the same reason people are scared of facing anything that’s unknown to them, plus it just so happens that wondering this unknown territory may land you a hefty fine

People just greed. They are used to complain that their government is corrupted (doesn't actually matter where you live). And at the same time they just don't pay any attention to the services they get in turn (police, medicine, transport, roads other infrustructure)

Let's say I put a gun to your head, rob you and then bought paint for 1/3 of that money and painted your door(wich by the way you didn't need at all) the other day. Will that justify my actions?

The level of education given in school on tax is not practical.People are afraid of parting with money when it's not wired to instant gratification.Corruption-Governments are run by corporations, most of it ends up in the pockets of government contractors (corporations).
