if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing they could do.

Well I think you do now know how tax works and also people do not just agree, it is mandatory and it is responsibility of a citizen in a nation.Every thing you buy in the store has tax on it, the food you eat in the fast foods has tax on it and even salaries have tax. These tax are used in many purposes like government projects.If there is no tax, there will be no money to use for road repairs, public hospitals, public schools and many more.

People agree to pay,  because it is needed and it is written in the law. We need to support and to obey the law. Just because it is written in the law we really need to do it, it is just the first reason. The second reason is that paying taxes has benefits for us like programs, infrastructure, wide and free roads, benefits in our health care and many more. People agree, because they know and they expect that they will get benefits from it.

People agree to pay taxes because the government use these taxes to build infrastructures and services for the people in return. Our taxes are used to build roads, bridges, hospitals, schools and so much more. The government also use these taxes to give free education and free hospitalization for those who need it the most. I dont think it is a big issue and it doesnt need to be argued with.

Honestly, I do not agree that people are paying taxes because they know that this money is going to their life improvement. I am curious - how can you NOT pay taxes? When you go to the store, the taxes are included in the price of the goods.

Paying taxes is helping the community and the economy so meaning if certain group of people are always trying to fight against it,this will never help and not healthy to participate. Yes government are corrupt, but to oppose it is not helpful practice not unless there is a supreme idea that can be a helpful method to abolish tax system.

taxes fund government projects, it is a responsibility for the citizens to pay taxes or there would be no projects or benefits to provide for them.

Governments don't force their people to buy their services rather it is a benefit given by the governments. For example Australia, they have a very high rate for tax payments but in return most medical services are free.

People had benifits on government taxes.It is very important to pay taxes,because there's so many expenses of the government,like,to sustain the salaries of the soldiers,police and other government armed forces,to make the country safe for any possible threats.

[pencuri hati]

For me tax is a duty of every person because every time we pay taxes, we have complied with state regulations, because tax payments are not used for personal gain but for the benefit of all people.

[Vaniaevergarden]

Paying taxes is good thing ,if nobody pays the taxes and for example someone  have car accident or someone get robbed  or killed or smth then where get help? Pure anarchy and jungle when no taxes.Problem is when the taxes is too high and harm humans.But the idea  paying equivalent tax is good ,i think.

[kokorotomoto]

paying taxes is our obligation to the state. because the public facilities that we use daily are state-owned for the community.

[Kambala07]

For taxes that we pay will be used as:
. source of funds for government expenditures, especially for civil servant salaries
. funds for the development of transport infrastructure (roads, bridges, railways, etc.), education, health, defense and security, and agricultural subsidies;
. source of funds for disaster management;
. helping to reduce the burden of foreign debt

I've understand your point but think a lots if we didn't pay taxes then how will our country run and how it will become successful... And also how did they make a program for the welfare of many...  If people refuse to do it it is just like we are not part of a country and also it is just like we are not a citizen...  A good citizen must follow a simple regulation like...  Though sometimes it is burden for still think the possible good effect of it...  We need to follow rules like for us to call ourselves as a good citizen of one country...

It is high time people start rebelling against tax payment because our leaders(politicians) all over the world are stealing the taxpayers money to enrich themselves.But our roads are not repaired,schools under trees,unemployment etc Some even steal taxpayers money to fuel wars.This nonses must stop.We cannot continue like this as human being.Some people are so greedy .

[ilovefeetsmell]

I agree to pay taxes to the government. Paying taxes is equal to infrastructures and establishments. We pay taxes for our own good. Government officials are our eyes and hands. Eyes is to see our future and lead us to a better life while hands is to guide us into our dreams and goals in our life. We need to pay them to the job they have given in our economy. Taxes have many uses and can do a lot.

Its criminal to collect taxes that too at such high amount. Taxes are theft that normal people give to live. The argument that government needs that money to develop the infrastructure is bullshit. The infrastructure can be built by the people and government doesnot need to be invovled.

I hate the feeling that 30% of my income goes to the pocket of politicians who fill their pockets with that money.

[MorganFreemanBeard]

You are require to pay taxes for the government to support its constituents also especially in those industrial country where the government rely on taxes for infrastructures.

I do pay my Taxes so that my country could have revenue and have a capacity to deelope our country, and most especially to protect us from Invaders and to defend our rights.

[Darwinie]

And addition to that,not all overment employees do work like that. Most of them are very true to their pledges to serve our country. Just dont just too quickly. I do have relative that keeps their integrity a priority

[Justinalex]

no one says they agree to pay taxes, there can be a severe rebellion if you do not pay it, which also plays a part in the decision. tax is a form of legal theft

[gpamfmcq]

Your idea is wrong. Tax is very important to a government. No tax government will stop working. Then your daily life will be a mess, a lot of public utilities will not work, and the whole society will be in chaos.

In my own personal opinion, people agrees to pay taxes because the government requires us to pay taxes, so we could have a develop country. But in reality governments just took our money from taxes that is why a lot of people won't agree to pay taxes and hates the government because of corruption.
