This is how wars erupt. I think its fair for them to charge a certain amount of money from its citizens for providing services, as long as the charges are fair and the services are of the quality people expect.

People agree to pay taxes just because it's a government law so everyone must obey it because it's their responsibility to pay their taxes to avoid penalties and this is for our own good.

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.
Because we all know once you are the citizen of one country you must pay taxes for the development of the county and also the community is more progressive.
with the collected charges from people making big projects for society.

In fear of being arrested and hurt, people agree to just pay tax and obey the government just so everything would go well and no problem may occur.

I think taxes are mainly for the peace and order and also for the development of the country. These funds are used to build various buildings, like schools, factories, etc., for the good of the citizens in the form of education and jobs. Some of these funds also go to the research facilities of the country, which will lead to the development of technology of the country.

It is an obligation for every employed individual to pay their taxes and the law will punish you if you do not pay them. It is a way for every tax payer to contribute to the betterment of the society. Taxes are used to fund government's infrastructure projects, education of less priveleged individuals and for medication of needy people.

People are paying Taxes every where because without taxes how countries can do trading and other things. Tax is the main source of earning of a country and in every country people have to pay taxes on each thing just like that bitcoin have no tax as compare to other currencies but there is some tax on transaction and that is also negligible.

Because you live in a community and not just you. You work, and your work is made from that country and the citizens work for you.
So you need to pay taxes to make the country better to create new environments for people who have not worked or you can join the work environment.
It is the responsibility of a citizen and you need to know that.

It's not like people "agree" to pay taxes. They are obliged to. Taxes are used for building and maintaining roads that we use everyday. Taxes are used for providing public transportation. And so much more.

As a quote said: There are two things you can't avoid. Death and Taxes.

If taxes were well used, there would be no problem in paying them.
But when there are dishonest people in government, why should I allow them to rob me?

People agreed to pay taxes because first of all taxes is collected by the government in order to improved their country so if the people do not pay taxes, the government can not build infrastructures, campaign, habitat and etc. that we used in our daily activities.

It is mandated by the government to force its people and businesses to pay its taxes.And if you do not qant to pay taxes there are laws that are punishing people for not obeying the law.And sometimes lead to serious cases.So they are oblige to pay taxes.

This is the right answer.

Also, smart govts prefer to tax bitcoin rather than ban it. The latest govt to tax bitcoin is India:

Quote
India's government has reportedly sent tax notices to cryptocurrency traders and investors following a nationwide survey.

According to Reuters, a survey found that Indian citizens conducted more than $3.5 billion worth of trades and other transactions across a 17-month period. The government also collected data from nine exchanges within the country, and per the report, notices have been issued to "tens of thousands of people."

As a result, India is now looking to tax capital gains, as well as receive information about how much people own in cryptocurrencies and where their funds are located.

because the citizens are afraid of doing something that will lead them to things that may not go according to what they want. they couldn't just strike against the government so that they won't have to pay their taxes. nobody can just do that. since the government holds the power but what we don't realize is the citizens really is the one with power, it's just that unity is lacking. but anyway, paying taxes is not that bad since it's suppose to be used for the country and it's citizens, unless something shady is happening.

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.

Yes I agree with that, and I think anonymity feature is present here which is the reason why governmwnt allow this platform to be excused in paying taxes. Taxes where a good thing and a responsibility indeed of each individual who are capable to fulfill this thing, which may help the society to have a better service to offer.

If no one is paying their tax the nation would disintegrate. It is impossible to the government to run without tax. They need to collect tax in order to maintained and develop the infrastructure of a country. We need to pay tax properly because we are the hope of the nation. It's for our sake.
