why do people agree to pay taxes?

[Nahl]

i think people will realize to pay tax even though the government didn't pushed them because we're live in the particular countries which is required public facility such as hospitals or public transportation and government only can build those facilities if their citizen paying tax so basically tax will be used that to people to feel the comfort of living  

[Ideal]

Because we are obligate to pay taxes. Our goverment obligates us to pay taxes. But churches dont pay taxes. That's my one reason why im anti-gov

[Konyox]

And you're a randian on top of all the other fail?  Once you graduate to Go, Dog, Go!, we can talk some more Smiley
In the mean time,

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.

It is our obligations as a citizen to pay taxes in our country. The government needed the money for new infrastracture, free and free or low cost education and health and wellness of the people especially  in a developing country. Unfortunately it is very disappointing to know that these taxes are corrupted by politicians and only a small part are being benefited by the poor.

Well, in an ideal world, people pay taxes in exchange for public service from the government. Most social welfare needs to run on a large scale in order to lower its cost to a feasible level. But you are right, if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing the government could do. I guess the problem is whether the government established a trustworthy system to build infrastructure that people enjoy and feel like their payment to the government is worth every penny.

It is difficult for people to admit that they pay taxes only because of fear of retaliation on the part of state representatives. It was hard for me to admit it to myself. I'm not stealing because I'm afraid of falling into hell or jail, but because I understand that it's bad to steal. And with taxes, what's the difference? A person is told that he pays taxes only because he is afraid that he will be caught and punished, means to admit that he is bad. It's very uncomfortable, people want to be good. That is why it is important for the state representatives that everyone should think that it is good, noble and civilized to pay taxes, and not to pay is bad.  But this is a lie. Theft and non-payment of taxes have nothing to do with the moral point of view. Stealing is bad, not paying taxes is dangerous.

the only reason this works is because the citizens are unorganized and unarmed.
if people gather in groups of tens of people to protect each other against the government there is no way they could throw anyone in jail.

Well then they would probably make an example of a few to intimidate the rest.

how will they do that if they have a million armed people marching on their jail.
there are millions of us and only a few thousand of them, its insane that people haven't gathered up and thrown those government thugs in a cage yet.

It has happened many times in history.
Those people then form a new government which, in time, turns out to be pretty similar to the old one.

We pay taxes because we can benefit from it, I t can help our community grow if the tax we pay is in good hands and in a good ruler that can control its community and people. Taxes can also help in a emergency or disaster that causes big amounts of resources, tax helps to regain all the damages that has been done by a disaster. And it can help a lot of people too.

That is right if the government does not use it for personal purposes. If the government can does that, no one cares about the corruption in the economy and the tax. Every year, you pay a lot of money but the government can not give you a comfortable environment, better infrastructure, etc. That proves they have used it for self-interest.

[linapel318]

Without law and government, people are more likely to act like animals and do whatever that want to.
We pay taxes ask for some public service to protect us and live without fear.....
But you know sometimes things don't work like that.

Taxes are always taken for granted by people like us but to be honest they are very important for the development of nation itself. I mean if you don't pay the taxes then I am pretty sure our nation can't develop. Obviously government is system with thoughtful process of getting the taxes and to circulate it within states and cities to develop them internally and externally. They always have tremendous stress and need money which we can't imagine. Where from that comes? The only source is taxes. So it's for your good only.

[paulo1210]

why do people agree to pay taxes? That is because the money we pay in taxes goes to many places. In addition to paying the salaries of government workers, our tax dollars also help to support common resources, such as police and firefighters. Tax money helps to ensure the roads we travel on are safe and well-maintained. We ay tax for the better of our community and economy. To make, build, develop our country.

[King Sastro]

In facts this is because of coercion, I'm sure people do not want to pay tax if they are not forced, this is what makes all transactions must use tax numbers so if not using tax numbers then considered as illegal transactions.

[Jessy Mediola]

Theoretically I pay taxes because government can offer to me some services (like health, law enforcement ecc.). But, with the economic crisis, we pay taxes to pay state debts 

Paying your taxes is considered a civic duty, although it is also a requirement of the law. If you do not pay your taxes, the government agency that oversees taxes the Internal Revenue Service  will require you to pay your taxes or else face penalties, such as fines or going to jail. Aside from it, netizen will get the benefits from those taxes such as roads, houses and and others.

Because they are left with no choice. Paying taxes is obligatory. We cannot do anything but pay taxes. Hence, we can notice how we are benefited with it so this could also be for good specially for our society sake. If we are earning income then, we shall be liable for paying taxes and thats a rule.

Paying tax to our government is mandatory. All workers the businessman and other taxable properties are obliged to pay their income tax to the government.  Because the government imposing this law to be followed. Tax is very important also. Because all project done by the government like road, public school building the hospital and many more ect. are came from our contribution from the tax that they collected.

Right! So we must pay taxes for our legality in everything weve transact and used.,,, so better pay so that youll not be one if those person that was called by law and add penalty of not paying taxes.,so better pay because its  for our good and that is implemented with a good reason.

[AltheaHeart14]

Because they have no choice but to do it, but taxes has good side if you pay the government can support all there expenditures for road works, for public school, public hospital and etc, but sometime it is being stole by some greedy official.
