why do people agree to pay taxes?

[Ann Impas]

Well we have an economy that is design as a community. Community will not work unless it is funded by the members of the economy.   That is why pulling of resources is required to run the community. That is what we called TAX nowadays to support the need of the community in general.

Paying taxes is optional.  Each person just needs to make a decision based on the consequences of their choices.  I am glad other people decide to pay taxes.  Roads are useful.  I choose to pay enough to avoid hassle by the IRS.  Armed uprising against taxes would be a real hassle.  Let's not.

Education: every citizen has a "duty"...
Guilt: all "good citizens" pay taxes, are you going to be a bad citizen?...
Good cause: we need roads...
Threat: you will be fined or imprisoned for not paying taxes...
Kindness?: you need to share your wealth with others who is in the need...

Nothing above is true...

History of US taxes is a good example to study. Learn how did they "progress" from 1% federal tax to 35%.
Educate yourself from the independent sources.

To most people, paying taxes is somewhat fine with them because it gives them a sense of security. Security for their social standing, security for food on their tables and sometimes, it would extend to national security. Even with the Roman period, taxing people has given them a sense of security from the uncertainties of the future. While it may be true that some of the taxes are way too high for its price, most people would rather pay it and let it be rather than to face all the needless troubles of not paying taxes. So for this reason, people agree to pay taxes to their goverment.

People already paying high taxes in various places like bank etc and mostly people are like BTC because of tax free or negligible tax on transaction but as in last few weeks taxes are increased due to which people were unhappy. But hope BTC administration will recover this problem soon as already they have again reduce to 350 satoshi per byte.

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.

Well, our economy and government designed taxes as our duty. Though our hearts were against it, we can do nothing about it but to follow it. The government may accuse us or file cases agaisnt us if we're not going to pay taxes. If we only have a choice not to pay taxes, I think it'll be easier for us to earn for our living.

Then what? Cause chaos and destroy their country? Good idea. What next,? Rebuild their country and then make a new group of people to be called the new government then realize later on the importance of taxes and go back to collecting and giving taxes? Damn op. What the fck were you thinking? You must be smoking some good shit to have ever thought about this.

Just in case you don't realize, taxes are what makes a country stand. It is what holds everything in place and makes the world spin(if you get my point.). Just think of how many jobs and services depend on taxes by the masses in every state or country. Sheesh. Try to read more about stuff you post before you even think of posting them.

Do you want a war?, do you promote violence?, if not i dont see why you should be asking this question, We leave by a rule of law. Taxes are just a means of collecting revenue used for maintenance of a country.. if there are no taxes the economic structure of a country could just crumble, So yes people agree because its the right and logical thing to do

I absolutely agree with you. It's alarming how many people do not understand this connection. Not that taxes can't be abusive, but the general idea is the best solution we have to pay for civilization.

I think paying taxes is an obligation for us as citizens and that is one of the government regulations, and also the tax money provided by the public is for the needs of the country as well so if anyone does not want to pay the tax it is a mistake .

[sulendra12]

Because people doesn't know the reality about how the government is corrupting us through taxes. As I observed, people remain poor even if they have good jobs because of taxes.

Yes, you got the point. Even though we're paying taxes to the government, there are a fu**ing people on the goverment trying to corrupt our money for their needs which is really stupid and should be dead. Which is for helping poor people but hold by wrong people.

That is true in many places. But bitcoin is a global community and worldwide taxes range from fair to criminal. The idea of pooling everyone's money to fix roads and clean the water is never the problem. Greed is the problem. Simple ugly greed.

The reason is bound to be complex and includes such things as fear, responsibility, moral values, the social nature of humans, etc. What's funny is that the rich are the least inclined to agree to pay taxes and in fact pay the least taxes. They are predatory. That's probably also the reason why they got to be rich.

[CHENIEN]

Normally speaking, taxes are normally  being collected by government in such differet countries, the legality of a certain businesses are undergo with a tax payment. So, if bitcoin will pay taxes or government force to collect taxes from bitcoin owner supposedly bitcoin become legal and endorse by government. If we are a normal citizens on our living country, we must pay taxes without any persons force us to pay, it is our rule to support our government by paying taxes so that our country economic system developed. The economic system in every country's are base on a taxes being collected, without payment of taxes it will result economic shutdowns.

Unfourtunately we are people and as soon as people are concerned only for their wealth and own interest such a thing won`t be a long lasting defence, it has been proved many times, we are in a same ship but we always want to build another for ourselves.

[babysweetTiger0401]

As a citizen of your country, it is your responsibility and obligation to support your government to all their projects and services. Because whatever they are doing, they are doing it for the welfare of its citizens. One of it is paying our taxes.

[pepai]

Because taxes would help the country in many ways. But sad to say, many of those in the position are selfish.

[expert4knowledge]

Because they have been raised to be submissive to a system, they have been brain washed to think it is normal to give 50% of their earnings to the state for the greater good

Because there is nothing they can do with it. They do have have the power to stop that because it is a law. And besides it is goin back.to the people in terms of the road the establishments so people will benefit in that. But some people are selfish and corrupt and all those taxes that they collect do not distributed to the government but instead in the pocket. That is why the people wants to use bitcoins and the other cryptocurrency because ut has no taxes but today the fees are getting expensive whih is sad.

[amih]

I include people who agree with the taxation system on bitcoin because with this adanyapajak will make bitcoin more have legal recognition from the government. and also in addition tax obligations I think it is pretty good because there will be income of foreign exchange in a country that aims to prosper the community as long as can be allocated correctly and right on target. maybe one of the budgets in the can of taxes bitcoin is for the cost of technology development or for the cost of development and education budget and others. so I personally do not mind the issue of taxation as long as no one takes the opportunity to seek its own advantage from the tax for bitcoin.

[tuliobrothers]

Because taxes are needed to supply the financial needs of our country. Without taxes the government will no longer operate because of the lack of budget.
