Reason we pay taxes and why we should

[Baresh]

We should do our obligations for our country by paying taxes because it is the bloodlife of our government which can make our safety and maintenance  such as schools, hospitals and other public areas that we can benefit on it.

[connexus]

The reason we pay taxes is because it is mandated by the government and it is included in the by laws. If wr tax evades the government might sued us for the unremitted taxes. As a citizen of my country we are obliged to pay taxes even if we do not want to.

[Indamuck]

The thing is that most of the tax money goes to pay off the interest on bonds.  The government has to constantly keep going deeper into debt or the whole system will collapse.  It's extremely unfair that the government socializes the losses and privatizes the gains.

[bitlind]

From what I have heard telegram client to replace the meaning of government by the smart contracts so people would be Gathering money on the smart contracts and it will play a role of government build the roads pay salary for teachers etc.

Taxes actually have a positive purpose, such as the development and structuring of the city. but sometimes its human resources take advantage of this, corrupt in any way. The person in the tax offiice already has a salary that is more than enough but the greed that makes them become corruptor.

[Kanda Yu]

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.

Taxes aren't meant for burden for those who are working. It has other purpose that we often miss. Most of the time, our taxes are being used for scholarships, infrastractures and for anything that will help the country's innovation. We should always be honest and pay our tax in time so that we can atleast help our country and our fellow country men little by little.

of course taxes must be paid, because it is used for the common good. well, but still many people do not want to pay taxes, because they feel it is not important, and moreover it is not in the feel. well, but as good citizens, we have to pay taxes legally.

corruption makes people feel angry and reluctant to pay taxes. they assume the taxes they are paying instead are being used by people who are not responsible for their personal interests.

corruption will become very dangerous in the development process of a country. funds that should be used to build various facilities but misused. the availability of public facilities will be hampered.

Assessments are vital if a legislatures need to work so in the event that somebody is bamboozling while at the same time paying the expenses then he will be rebuffed with lawful actions.In cryptographic forms of money the majority of the general population are not paying charges and even numerous administrations don't have legitimate duties for its utilization that is the reason the administrations are attempting to boycott the use since it if proceeds for some time then it will cause prudent fiasco in that nation.

[Quinni]

Most of the government's income comes from taxes, so most of the money we pay in taxes goes to the construction of our country and the construction of our living infrastructure.

[blackhawkeye1912]

Taxes are just gasoline needed by the vehicles to move. Same thing with the government, it needs a budget to accomplish its duty for the people. Examples are infrastracture, health, defense, government agencies' tasks for the community, etc.

Taxes are fuels to our government.

[LuckyDestroyer]

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.

Every institution needs financial stability in this capitalist world to continue in its mandate. The same is with a country, as an institution it needs finances which are mainly acquired through taxes. When the people complain about taxes its mainly because of:
1. low minimum wage in a country which makes people feel as if they are being reaped of their hard earned money.
2. lack of proper sensitization of the importance of taxation to the public. Wgich creates an information gap between governments and the public on this topic.
3. lack of leadership in public resource management, in accountability and in allocation of these public funds.

So saying that its theft is more of a subjective point.

[Edraket31]

This should not put in deliberation, the taxes that we are paying are not a burden for us but it is for our own good and we should not question it anymore, if no taxes I don't think that we will have a good nation, or peace and order around us, it is a big help to our nation don't take it negatively. 

[localcrypto]

whatever taxes we pay those taxes should be used properly in the right way but most of the politicians use those taxes and public money for corruption

As for me I can say this is so obvious and easy to pay taxes because I'm a citizen of my country and we have a law that you need to pay taxes, it cannot be different from that.

[Sofiyah]

I agree with you, it should be if we already have a large enough income, we are obliged to pay taxes. because paying taxes is also for our good. as you say, with pay taxes can be more developed, and we also help others with government built schools of tax money.

[jademacoy]

The taxes are good for the people this will keep the government agency to operate from maintenance that could relatively help poor people to access cheap services from the government establishment like hospital, getting a concrete road and etc. This is why we need to keep our responsibility to pay taxes anyway the contribution of it will depend on how much you take or profit or getting a salary monthly basis.

[k.y.bondarenko]

Taxation is a good thing but only when it's necessary. As I don't like the idea of other people being in control of my money.

Right. Taxes if used for the right purpose civilized and clean is too good. However, many places have taken advantage of taxes to do bad things, abuse, corruption, etc.
I believe that if a country collects modern civilized taxes, that country is extremely developed.
