the only reason this works is because the citizens are unorganized and unarmed.
if people gather in groups of tens of people to protect each other against the government there is no way they could throw anyone in jail.
But this is dangerous. We should not touch the government. They are very upset and empowered to harm us. I think we have many ways not to follow their orders. Do not fool yourself against the government if you want peace.

That is because the government requires people to pay taxes, they make us people believe that tax collected will be use for the nation, i dont think its right too, i mean you work for it so damn hard then it'll get cut for what? For the government to corrupt it?

People agree to pay taxes because paying taxes is mandatory. Some of them actually believe the government is putting their money to good use, but in 99% that isn't the case. Taxes present governments incompetence. No wonder there are many tax evasions.

It is very evident that individuals pay taxes because they value the public goods that their taxes finance. In short, individuals exhibit much diversity in their behavior.

People agree to pay taxes because it is in the law that everyone will pay taxes. The taxes is used fund government project and budget for the government agency. And also the salary of government employees and all politicians. The government cannot do their task without the taxes.

why is it ok for a group of people calling themselves the government to force everyone to buy their services?
if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing they could do.

Most people don't even realize how much they pay in taxes each year. If people were aware of this, I believe there would probably be more resistance. Also, people tend to comply. Think of airport security now versus 20 years ago.

I suppose there will be taxes in cryptocurrency in some time. And even now traders and investors should pay taxes for crypto activities - for example Coinbase presented special calculator for this purpose.

that's easy to say, Gov forces you to pay tax depending on the tax law created by them..It is in a longer history.
Those people  looking a new government which, in time, turns out to be pretty similar to the old one.

sounds like a revolution, no?
this is how it actually works: you choose people to run a country, those people develop a system which helps to build new infrastructure, pay pensions to retired people etc. You need money for that, that's why taxes exist.
Are all taxes fair - this is another question

I don't think people agree to pay taxes its just they don't have any choice and it is deducted automatically in their monthly  salary. Anyway i just think that my taxes are being used properly by the government. Taxes are really a butt hurt that is why i always look for a way to earn extra income online because my salary with tax deduction wont be able to feed my family.

I'm sure that people agree to pay taxes. Taxes are one of the consequences of a social contract. To protect themselves, people unite in society, because they understand that together they are stronger. But in society they can not manage everything by themselves, everyone can not be a leader, so people transfer part of their rights to the leaders of the state. At the same time, the state is obliged to protect members of society and assumes the responsibility to represent the interests of the population. Taxes are necessary to maintain this system. Otherwise, it will not function. Another issue is that these taxes should be adequate and co-profitable for the real incomes of the population, and not a "rip-off", as in most countries.

Paying taxes means showing you concern as a citizen. The taxes you are going to pay will not only benefit you as well the people in your society. They will be able to develop your environment and everything that needs to be done in able for you to live in a safest and convenient place. So people agreed to pay taxes to experience a most convenient living.  It just happened that sometimes, government officials are being subjected into corruption because of their selfish desires which makes it worse in the sight of the ordinary people. However, the taxes belongs to the ordinary people living in the city and they should benefit to what they are paying for.

Yes, of course, they agree to pay taxes. Because the tax is an obligation for all societies that are required by countries to comply with taxation.

Paying to stay out of trouble..  Grin

Yeah..when you stop and did not pay your tax in your country that means you will be in a big trouble because there is a law that is being implemented to punish a personality when he is not paying his tax. That is why we need to pay tax to stay out of trouble.

We see how the cryptocurrency is more and more legalized. If governments find a way to control the income from the Internet of citizens then people are forced to pay taxes. Another thing is that it is difficult to control cryptocurrencies.
Its good  to pay because that's our obligation as citizens of the  country the government will  give  us protection can you  imagine what happen if we don't have a government, but for  a just a reasonable value, but in bitcoin  i dont know how they  can imposed since bitcoin is anonymous  and decentralized that why if they  regulate Bitcoin they make it fair.

I do not think you know the system on how 'taxes' work. First of all, the government has three (3) powers which are:
1) Police power;
2) Eminent Domain; and
3) Imposition of taxes.

The reason on why the government collects taxes from products/services as it provides the people the benefits from the country. The collection of taxes is also their method on earning revenue for the country's development of infrastructure and other related matters. Through taxes, they acquire funds to be utilised by different departments and bureaus for their function to worked. All of these mechanisms work under the funding provided by tax-payers and in return, we receive various benefits from time-to-time.
The problem exists when these officials from the government misuse the funds for their own use/purpose; which then corruption occurs from the government.

Taxes is the way for people to help their government if they like their country ofc. In other case they have no choise because they will lose water, electricity, gas ,etc.

The imposition of taxes are paramount for the function of every government agency as this provides funding in order for their mission to be utilised. When no taxes are collected, the government has no revenue/money to spend for the development of infrastructures or creation of innovations towards the future.
