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.
Its fine paying taxes as long as it goes onto the right hand, the reason why there are a lot of people who hate government is just because they are stealing money from the people.

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.
dude I hate how my government is running the country too but how come you think that way? If you'll be the president of the country (and assuming you're not corrupt) how would you run the country without any budget? You think roads and military funds are the only ones your taxes go through? What do you think runs the home care for elders? Your health benefits? Stop evading taxatiom as it could help you someday bruv.

Reasons why we should pay taxes is for the sake of our country. Because government uses it for improving our country and building more government hospitals and government schools for us.

Although I agree that today's taxation is theft mostly, especially in non-democratic or in half-assed democratic countries, I don't think it's possible to build a society where every individual is independent from others. The thing is that the world is big enough to contain different kinds of people. And there are evil people from our point of view who are, at the same time, not evil but righteous from their perspective. Those people are able to sacrifice everything, freedom, amenities, well-being of their children and even their very lives for a "higher purpose". Their sole aim is war until victory or death. To confront them we need a strong country with a strong military and economy which takes a strong government to rule over. Otherwise a society of independent individuals, most of whom don't want to go to war (Who wants to go to war?) will be conquered and enslaved by those barbarians.
But this "strong government" shouldn't be only strong enough to protect itself from its own people while making wage slaves of them (what we can see nowadays mostly). The government should be absolutely transparent and open. Every citizen should have a right to check where their taxes are going. Thankfully that's not that hard to implement nowadays.
Actually, government is the root of all wars, they start them to grab resources, dominate other governments, to tighten their control over population. Also those wicked people that you've described use government to support their wars. You are right that regular people don't want to go to war, and without governments wars would be less common and far smaller, there would be no world wars. Also, military forces can be private, and people can voluntary pay for the protection that they offer. And since military budgets are usually around 1% in most countries, the prices would be very affordable, especially with market mechanisms.

Paying taxes is a duty of all citizens, by paying taxes then the state has money to finance all the work and projects so that public services get better.

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
Taxes are implemented to be used for government project and programs. I agree to pay taxes if the government will have transparency in collecting and listing on where they will used the funds they collected from tax payers. I am in favour of paying taxs because I still believe that their are still decent and serious public servant taht will lead as for a better future. This will be outpr job to check and make sure we select the best politicians to be elected and govern the taxes we pay.

My mom receives monthly benefits because of taxes. By her time its a pain in the ass paying for it, but now we thankful for it.
We now pay for taxes, but most people don't understand that we'll soon benefit from it. Roads and infrastructures are not the only one where my taxes went but other social projects.
You'll see it as a robbery from your salary, but you'll thank me soon once you're retirement benefits.

As a responsible citizen of the country is a must to pay taxes only if you are eligible to do so, reason we pay taxes, is for government authority to use the tax payer money to fixed infrastructure like road, hospitals school etc. Why we should pay taxes, to enable government to run both re-corence and capitals protect.

Tax is a form of obligatory contribution that must be paid to the government and is coercive by not getting the rewards directly, but the rewards can be received indirectly. It seems like the construction of public facilities such as road construction, street lighting and other facilities. As a good citizen we should respect the decisions that the country has made and follow the rules we live in.

I don't mind the to pay taxes if the government used it in a good way, the taxes could be used in a different ways to make our lives better, like free health insurance, new school building, or even new transportation project, and the most important it's being used to control the inflation, without tax income the country will fall apart
Paying taxes in not bad because it use to make our lives better. Government use the taxes to provide others health services, making some roads for havinf a better transportation and to protect us by upgrading our law of enforcement to guard us. Without paying taxes the community will fall apart.

I agree with you. There are lots of expences that our government is facing and that is also for the goodness of the people in our society. Without taxes, there would be no budget that is being allocated to every project and sectors in our country and the people of our community might suffer about it as well.

The reason why we pay taxes is to help our country to improve. We should pay taxes because government uses it to fund welfare and public services like education system, pension for the elders, unemployment benefits and public transportation.

I think that is quite an understatement to explain the importance of paying taxes, it is basically a critical foundation of the government to provide its citizens' general needs - money runs everything. Though knowledge is important for all, they need to fight for their rights and to correctly manage the funds they have provided for the government to not be taken over by greed.

your words are true. indeed in paying taxes, we can automatically help develop the country, because the taxes help the people in our country too, so our help through taxes we pay.

That’s truth that we need to pay our taxes. It’s also fair enough that in some countries government may compromise itself with inappropriate using of this money, which may push people to refuse paying what they obligated to. Yep, that is one of numerous reasons why corruption is a bad thing. Despite that, we do need to pay taxes, at least those, which comes with a salary from our regular job. Moreover, refusing of paying taxes never was a way to fight corruption.

What happens if you are in a third world country and there is massive corruption? You pay taxes and there are no roads, schools, or any essential public utilities. What you do see is the politicians and their cronies getting richer. Would you still argue that everybody should continue paying taxes?
Of course not, but we have to cut the root cause of the problem and that's corruption, if we can obtain a better and trustworthy politicians who aims to help the community and money is less prioritized I think we can soon have a better country. We usually dont see the essence of paying taxes since we only focus in the thing that it deducts our salaries, but in reality it was the reason to a better public infrastructures and services.

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. Haha, thousand years, taxes invented hundred years ago, it's new system that shakes rich guys to pay like 60% of their earnings in some countries, and is it fair for them?
