why do people agree to pay taxes?

[nesty]

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.

Paying taxes is mandated by the rule of law of every countries government thats why lots of people pays the taxes mandatory and whoever does not follow the law can be sued by the government.

Not knowing where your tax money is going is the biggest problem with taxes. I do believe that the concept has been somewhat outdated with the establishment of internet-based crowd funding. A lot of public works could potentially be funded with online campaigns where interested people would donate the money required for the things they need.

Crowd funding will never adequately fund the infrastructure products as needed to complete them. The point about such projects is they increase the overall welfare of a nation and should be borne by all citizens then because it's for the common good. A better economy improves the lives of all citizens. There's always going to be a group of people opposed to paying for anything, but they're living off the benefits of having those previous infrastructure projects completed, and they fail to see this as hypocritical.

People are paying taxes because they have to. Whether we like it or not, we are obliged to pay our taxes because it is our duty as a citizen. I know it feels like a burden to us, but actually, it is a mutual benefit. We are protected and being served by the government in return. We pay taxes for them to serve well.

[Btcalimie]

Actually, people agree to pay taxes not because they like to but because they're obliged to. Paying taxes is one of the responsibilities of a law abiding citizen. Whatever the reason may be, I still believe that people are also aware that these taxes can somehow help the growth of the economy. So whether we like it or not, we just need to look it at a brighter side.

That's because taxes will go to other govt.projects and to beautify our country. Even during medieval times, taxes were also present. It is mandatory to pay taxes in every countries and no one is above the law. People should cooperate to the govt or our country will be in turmoil if they dont pay taxes.

actually citizen pay their taxes, it backed to them again in other form.such as infrastucture , public facilities like health insurance.so they do not lose money to pay taxes.

I think with the tax may Bitcoin will be a device payment legitimate worth it cash, and with the tax we don’t need to fear again for bitcoin will in forbid in the country, or bitcoin will be closed in a country, and with the tax we will be a safe.

First of all, stay in school.

Actually they are not forcing themselves, its a manner of exchange. We pay taxes to have different services that we use almost everyday. These group of people that are called the Government, are (from the word itself) governing the country to have an organized and almost peaceful country. Have you ever heard of the word "Order"? How about "Law"? Let me ask you, if the government do not exist and you are living in your so called paradise without paying taxes, do you think there would be support on economy, finance, security, education etc. Do you think the country would survive?

Is it because of corruption? Is is how toxic the government is right now? I could understand where you're going from, but that's just not the way it works or not simple as it is. Sometimes simple things like "paying taxes" forms a bigger picture than you think.

People tend and agree to pay their taxes because they know and understand that it is also for their benefits. Through paying taxes, the government can have the money to make projects for the community like building Hospitals, Health Centers, Cemented Highways, FreeMedical Check-ups and many more. That is why it is really important to be faithful in paying your taxes because we have to be one in the community.

[petrobit]

Originally, the idea was different), everyone thought that since we pay salaries to the government, they will respect our interests. on a this term the idea to pay taxes looks logical. as everything developed in the end, we all know. in real terms, paying taxes is either forced necessity or insanity.

[Yantoaja]

Because there is already a rule they may not want to look for problems and ultimately pay taxes. Paying taxes is also not too much if we see also because only a few percent of our income during our work.

[easydrawrex]

Of course people has to pay their taxes because it is their responsibility as a citizen of their country to be faithful in paying their taxes because it is for the betterment of their own country so that the government could make more projects and facilities needed by the citizens and for the betterment of the future.

[MrRiuss]

because order by law. if not paying taxes, then the consequences is break the law. i think only a few people will pay taxes if there are no law about taxes

[Edraket31]

Of course people has to pay their taxes because it is their responsibility as a citizen of their country to be faithful in paying their taxes because it is for the betterment of their own country so that the government could make more projects and facilities needed by the citizens and for the betterment of the future.

If it is law required then there is nothing we can't do about it but to follow what is regulated, we should always follow the rules, rather than having a case of tax avoidance or many more, and for me I won't allow that to happen in my life so I would just follow rules rather thank having in jail.

I hate taxes as much as the next girl does. However taxes pay for schools, healthcare, defence and roads etc. I hate paying taxes but they do help create a decent country to live in. But if taxes are too high, people either dont pay or leave the country if they can. Low and fair taxes are much more desirable.

What a funny that you compared tax by girls, are girls also taxing you? Anyway, we all hate tax for sure but let us just be thankful on the other side as we are having at least peaceful country that will protect us if we need to.

In some advanced country, tax goes along way in helping the government to run some public affairs. I see tax as a responsibility so that we don't have to complain of government not doing anything. Tax is essential for community development.

[SvonioneFromMangoCoinz]

so basically no one wants to pay the taxes.
everyone wants to have the services but they want to determine themselves how much of each service they consume and how much they pay for it and whom they buy it from.

the government is nothing but the most organized band of robbers on the geographical area they control.
somehow they manage to fool some of the sheeple with their silly flags and anthem songs that paying the protection money is for their own good.

You are basically arguing that people should receive services from the government, but should not pay any taxes. If this happened then the government would not be receiving money to pay for such services, so how would you suggest they pay for such services? 

I am arguing that people buy the services they need in the quantity that they need from anyone they want, not necessarily from the group of people called the government.

I agree with your opinion. we can use bitcoin and altcoin like fiat currency. we can buy bitcoin clothes or things. Not necessary through the government

[kodtycoon]

Because taxes are something that is mandatory for the people where the money can be used to build facilities in the country and improve infrastructure in every city for the better. So by paying taxes we participate in the development of the country for the better, although there are still corrupted by the government, but in the end it will all be uncovered as well.

Taxes is mandated to all people leaving in that certain country's to pay their taxes to government. The government are very strict about this regulation because taxes are the main sources of their income as to use their projects  like public hospitals,  school,  market road. And many others that under the government projects.
