Reason we pay taxes and why we should

[jaaeeeyyyy]

Tax do really help from little things to big things we have on our community. The products we buy  from the store do have taxes, from our wages on work and many more. Our taxes funds services also for us and for the country, we pay tax for paying the government employees whom secures the safety of the people which is police and firefighters whenever emergency event happens.

[ecnalubma]

I'm not against taxation as long as the funds are used properly, it is very important to help build one nation. What I hate most is the misused of funds and corruption, the main problem are those incompetent people in the government that rapes the system.

If you are walking on the road and enjoying a nice day at the nearby park it's all because someone paid their taxes.
Taxes helps a lot , I have seen people frowning over about how they don't want to pay any taxes and as such.
Government ensures that if you earn over a certain amount then for sure you can contribute in the making of your country. It's only if you are able to.
Taxes helps in :

    Paying the salary of government employees
    Making of roads
    Public schools
    Parks run by the government
    Maintenance fees
    Making government hospitals
    Making high schools ... The list is endless

We all use all these services at one part of the life or other therefore we can just consider it a little payment for that .
People frown how government is corrupt , it is but not entirely if it was then you woont see new projects coming up in your town or city.

It's just our responsibility to pay taxes, we shouldn't run from it because it will more or so be used for everyone out there in your country , you are indirectly helping others too through paying them , the less advantageous ones.

Also one might say government can print all the money they need , but that's not the case ..the more money a government prints the lower the value of their currency gets which genrally have adverse effects in many sectors.

Because, you are not single in the world and if there is not a govern, you can not live single. The states can not put the money in their pockets, they make your life easier with this money.

Paying taxes here in our country is an obligation that's why whether we like it or not, we have to pay for it.We have to face a failure-to-file penalty if we fail to pay our taxes.Yes you are right that tax money are very useful in making schools,road concreting,widening,salaries for government employees and others for the benefits of the many.

[Dreamchaser21]

We are obliged to pay taxes to fund government projects. If this fund are properly consumed for public projects alone then quality public service will be provided to the citizens. 

This is a good reason why we need to pay taxes, but since government are so corrupt in many countries people are now afraid to pay taxes. I'm not against on this kind of system, I'm willing to pay for it no matter what but I just hope that the tax collection will spend in the right projects. People should pay taxes right its for our own sake and I still believe in the goverment.

Taxes are primarily used for the general public-infrastructures, health, education etc. So basically, taxes are for the betterment of the constituents of any government.

There are at least two reasons why taxes are dubious, mildly speaking. First of all, government (and any government, for that matter) is very ineffective in using people's money. So it is a big question how much or rather how little of the taxes collected is actually used for all these things and to what effect. Secondly, government is printing money anyway, and this is called an inflation tax which we are all paying nolens volens. Further, if instead of paying taxes, government would make people build the roads, parks, hospitals, etc, you would be surprised how little the society would have to shell out on all this in terms of both money and effort.

[Daniel91]

In short, we pay taxes in order to help government to lead social services, army, police, to give salary to state employees etc.
It's main and the most important income for any state.
It's completely understandable for me to pay taxes if I will have free health service, social help, retirement etc.
Do you think that many people can afford all of this alone?

There are a lot of reasons why we pay taxes and for me paying taxes is important. The staright road we walked and drive on, the public schools that the youngster attended to, the public hospitals people without enough money goes to are the results of the taxes we paid. The reason we did it is to better our life in the community we live in and help those who cannot afford the expensive expenses. People should to it because it serve as the budget of our government to improve the place we called home. So don't frown and be mad if you are paying taxes because a small amount of help from you could be the big blessings for others.

[bongnor531]

Yeah, I partly agree:

paying taxes should build up nice social things like mentioned before but if a government uses them for silly, selfish goals then it is not easy to smile when they are taking away more than half of your salary...

[ChaChaiTL]

Taxation is theft. "But who will build the roads" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.

If everyone went ahead to do things personally then there won't be any scope of a systemized channel and possibilities of having endless problems won't be able to be ruled out , at the end of the day people are different everyone's different thus it's not easy for someone to say something like this . This seems like an argument of a 2 year old , since the system is what keeps everyone together and in check .
Democrats are not mad that they have invented this since thousand of years also you should know that if given chance to people will run away from doing any good for other rather than they are more or less set on themselves and it won't be able to provide for a linear future for others .
It's not as easy as it seems even though it might be fancy but it's no child play to run a government that big, we cannot be like ramapithecus since we have literally more cranial capacity that old animal is long gone and humans have evolved and more or less there are bad people around here too ... We cannot just let them do as they please a government body is a must to take care of all the decisions because leaving decisions of that big of a country on everyone without any further details will turn out to be a big mess because everyone will have thier own point of view and the majority point of view will be more or less targeted by the ones in the minority.
Tell me will you make road all by yourself when it's needed using your money ? Altogether your money ?
It's not possible dude . It is just a recipe of chaos.

We should pay taxes because it is a duty of a citizen like us to the country as well as the people around us to pay for it because I hope the government will use that tax to do it. the public good for society as well as bitcoin.

...
Rather than being openly against taxes and avoid paying them, why not concentrate the effort on electing a parliament and indirectly a government that will not play around with our money?
...

Many people are not asking for the complete removal of a tax system, but rather disagree
with the high level of taxation in their respective country. I´d have no problem with paying
a fixed 10 % tax on all my income, but I do have a problem with paying 40 % or more
(especially, because the actual tax burden is even higher due to taxation via inflation
and consumption taxes).

The problem with focusing on electing a more responsible government is an inherent problem
of democracies. The easiest way to get people to vote for you is to promise to increase government
spending and government handouts. This leads to a bidding war between politicians and
ruins the state finances in the long-term every single time.

Besides, most countries have a huge electorate that is living directly off government transfers and
is therefore heavily incentivized to vote for irresponsible candidates that will not
consolidate the finances of the state.

I beg to differ though. The government is greedy and we all know that. Even after your death, the tax will haunt you (inheritance tax, estate tax and what not). Tax is more like a forced contribution to the government and people even if they don't use their services are forced to pay the tax (for example someone opts in to study in private school instead of public school or does not take social benefits but will still have to pay taxes). I am not saying tax is a bad thing, but the government should redefine how the taxes are collected.

[tubig123]

No problem if we pay taxes because tax is considered as a lifeblood in one country,but in good terms the governments provide projects like infrastructures or medical assistance.
Actually in my country the money we pay for taxes will be corrupted and not being properly use.I agreed to pay taxes into correct ways putting the money we paid.

[Denifriska]

The obligation to pay taxes for citizens is for the country itself. A country needs a lot of income in order to stabilize everything, one of the country's greatest income is through taxes. Because taxes can be functioned for various things, such as regional development, road construction, for the health and welfare of society and many others.

[dewi91]

we live in a country with the rules of paying taxes as already stipulated. do not make it a burden, but with our taxes will prosper together, because there is a guarantee of education, health, etc

yes,paying taxes should not be a burden because by paying taxes we can contribute in building the country. from taxes the government can build hospital, build public school and many more. to improve our country is not just the government task but it also became our task as a citizen.

[_oh_no_stop_this_]

So who's paid what tax on crypto!?

[Daseento]

Without payment of taxes, government would be unable to cater for the citizens. There are stipulated responsibilities of government both in the constitution and administration often has their agenda and manifesto which they want to achieve therefore revenue is needed to execute them. Taxes is another source of revenue and government cannot do without it.

[jmiro1]

If you are happy with your life, the government make sure you stay happy all your life. If you are not satisfied with your life, then the government is the only thing that keeps you safe from more frustration. The government provide you many things on your daily life, and you don't even count them. They are doing a service (fairly or unfairly) and that is why everybody needs to pay taxes.

[pasti kaya]

because tax is an obligation for all of us and taxes for the benefit of the people not only for the sake of the government itself. According to my knowledge.
