It is through paying our taxes that the government gets their funds. The government doesn't just print money and use it when they run out of them. If people refused to pay they'll have a lack of funds and the government falls, then the country falls as well. Plus the government has laws against people who evade taxes, so you're gonna pay taxes whether you like it or not.

It's just too bad that some governments doesn't use all what we give them to our own benefit  Angry

They agree to pay taxes because they want their community progressive and more people will help to the way of paying taxes. Because we all know if you are a citizen of one country you are responsible to pay taxes.

because they are aware that by paying their own taxes that will benefit, taxes are used for our own benefit as they are used to build all road infrastructure and other public facilities, by paying taxes we will help the government to launch ongoing development

We agreed to pay taxes because the government said to build projects, renovate, programs and many others. It will be beneficial to all of us. But some government official uses this for their corruption because they know nobody can stop them.

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.

If you refuse to pay tax you are tax evader and you will get imprisoned. Better follow the rules of your house if you are still not sble to stand up on your own.

That is very dependant on the country. There are places where paying taxes is "for loosers" and other in which your own neighbour will tell on you if you avoid taxes. Is very cultural.

As far as I know there are countries that pay taxes but it is so cheap so it is not a problem. In our country another law was submitted and approved by the president though they said that it is for the best so all we can only do is to follow those law. We do not want to be a tax evader so we just need to follow.

For me it's ours duty to follow orders that based on our law besides paying taxes is for our own sakes. The taxes that we are paying goes for community needs. That funds used for developing our country for public services like for education, health needs and everything that needs by the people of the Philippines. And I believe that complaining is not a good deed.

We all know that the purpose of taxes is for the development of one's country, it is also used for the public services that we benefit. So we cannot get away from paying taxes, if you don't pay tax you don't have the rights to complain.

Right. As if people have a choice. And holding up arms would definitely make it a lot worse. Its your obligation to pay taxes and for me, as long as those taxes are put to good use, then i don't think there's any reason why we shouldn't pay them. Its for everyone's good anyways.

People agreed to pay taxes. Government is the institution with various agencies that provides social services, welfare of it's citizens. By all means the government is weld with power to suppress any lowless violence and discipline the erring citizen. Have you any idea

If you don't pay your taxes, the government will want to frustrate you with everything they have. By the way, if your government is a good one, you shouldn't be scared of paying taxes. At least you are sure they will make good use of your money.

Taxation is done basically to convert the black money into the white money by giving the due share of the government to them. We in our lives are enjoying the taxi-ties of the government in the form of subsidies, health, education, road network and transportation systems etc, and they are the responsibility of every government of the world. So in lieu of these facilities, we must pay the taxes so that facilities can be multiplied.

People agree to pay some taxes because this is one of the law in every country. And aside from this, it is good for the country and for the economy. Those taxes will be beneficial to all of the citizen especially the people who are under the government. And also we are helping the government in their mandatory duty.

People are not organized, they can not oppose anything to the government. And if they are organized and can then it is already a revolution after which they will pay already to another government. I do not think that this system can be broken.

In my honest thoughts and opinions, bitcoin transaction taxes are quite reasonable. because of bitcoin's success and high monetary value. Sure, the taxes are high and most of times quite unbearable. but if you consider bitcoin's high value. you would understand the case.

Taxes are imposed by the state!

If you don't pay your taxes, you'll break the law, and someone will check on you!

People should realize one main thing, and that is what voting is and what right it gives you. Lately, in most of the democratic countries, we are experiencing the lows on the voting participation of the general population. We are also experiencing the new heights on various commentaries about how bad life has gotten through news portal comment sections and social networks.

There are only two ways by which you can participate in provoking any changes in economic-political systems:
1. By activating - politically or in economic theory.
2. By voting.

When there is a democratic election, people get too choose who will represent them. You can argue that most of the elections are being set-up, either as a pure scam or through media. However, there is only a small fraction of votes you can meddle within present days when there are many transparency instruments available. That is much less than the power of change that is being left unused - a 30% people not voting (in some countries even more), mostly because they don't support any of the two major political parties (two very centralized political parties having the majority of the support is the situation in most of the countries).

People who you, or better said, the majority of the people from your country voted for, are the ones who make taxing policies among everything else. Hence, by voting, or non-voting you are basically agreeing with the taxing policy. You can argue that you haven't agreed with a specific taxing policy because you voted against the Government, but if you live in the democratic society the will of the majority is what you have to live against. If you don't like it you can either support a different system of government or come up with your own ideas and start presenting them. Or you can choose to be non-constructive government critic (which would basically mean that you are supporting the idea of an anarchy).

Your ideas might not live up during your lifetime, but the change is slow. That is how democracy works. I don't like it either, but it is better than anarchy. That being said, just think about how easy it would be to make changes if the majority of people would get a hold of this and start expressing their opinions through creative criticism and finally - voting.

Regarding taxing as an instrument - I don't see anything bad about it, it is a fiscal tool, with its advantages and disadvantages just like any other, I am only strongly against the way it is implemented in my country.

Peoples agree to pay tax, because they  want  to good and responsible citizens, and also peoples pay to avert prison, because tax aveder  is liable to judgment and imprisonment, and also peoples agree to pay tax, to help government authority carry out mandatory duty.
