Tax

[Daisy Smith]

I think it depends from place you live. As I can see in my country people can gain so many benefits from taxes such as:
- Universal healthcare
- Unemployment benefits
- Infrastructure maintenance
- Defense
- Healthcare

Graft and corruption are evidently happening in every countries in the world. The government are accused to use the money of the people for their own personal benefits. However, we cannot end taxation for them not to commit those. I believe that if we stop taxatiin or paying taxes, our own countries won't achieve its growth as it improves today. National projects will not be accomplished if we do not have laws about taxation. If that's so, then we still do benefit from the taxes we are paying.

I don't care about the taxes I paid until I have learned the harsh truth that the politicians are just benefiting from everyone's money. I know a lot of people are thinks the same thing. Only a portion of our money are going to government project the others just goes to the politicians pockets (3 years ago) . Good thing thing we have President who's anti corrupt and doesn't care about the money. Hopefully he will be able to fix things before his term ends.

The problem is where are we without tax. The whole system needs to be maintained with something. Whether or not certain people are corrupt and abuse their position to use tax for the wrong reasons this doesnt change that fact that tax would still be needed to keep the overall system and infrastructure running. Without this global system that has been build through decades of taxation we wouldnt even be here talking about blockchain. This doesnt mean that tax is good or bad, it seems neccesairy and the problem is that there are people that either use it in a good or bad way.

Having said that it seems that blockchain could be very usefull in this system it can add transparancy and more accountability to those that actually deal with the tax money and also give people a better understanding where their money is actually used for.
