why do people agree to pay taxes?

[Robert Paulson]

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.

[MrBig]

Mark Bond, of Norfolk, England was arrested in 2010 for non-payment of tax, despite handing police a "notice of intent" stating that he was no longer a UK citizen. He told police that the notice had already been delivered to the Queen and the prime minister. He told the local paper: "Today I asked the judge to walk into the court under common law and not commercial law. If I had entered under commercial law it would prove that I accepted its law. I was denied my rights to go in there." He was sentenced to three months custody, suspended on condition that he pay off the debt at £20 a week.

[Robert Paulson]

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.

I'd imagine a civil war in that scenario.

You go ahead and do that.  i'll be LMFAO when the national guard shoot your ass

[Nrcewker]

It's violence agencies in Government to force you to do

[maurya78]

It's called fiat i.e the power of the government to use force and coercion to collect taxes from you with penalties if you don't

if only a million people out of 300 million managed to organize and march on DC the national guard would run away.
we could throw all the traitors there in a cage, abolish the income tax and the fed.

Bullshit.

Don't bring a gun to a drone fight.

[Lethn]

That's easy, they'll either throw you in jail or shoot you for resisting, what amazes me is the amount of people out there who genuinely believe that won't happen in their country and act as if we're just making this up.

[faince222]

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 

[Victoo]

Paying Taxes is the reason we are getting Health services, Law enforcement, Clean streets and parks, Great Infrastructure.

Government need money to provide us a better place to live that's why they force us to pay taxes.

[lihuajkl]

Gov forces you to pay tax depending on the tax law created by them.. But there are some ways to avoid paying tax no matter legal or illegal way without the notice of the gov.

This is all true. Unfortunately the percentages of our taxes that go towards these things listed are screwed up by the nonsense back room deals our politicians create which leads to billions of wasted tax dollars.

[BillyBobZorton]

Because if for X reasons you lose your wealth and you become old and shit on your bedclothes, they can help you with the taxed money. It's called socialism aka common sense.

If taxes were actually paid towards health services and infrastructure we would have robots as nurses and we'd have robot cleaners everywhere, fact is in most countries they spend government money on military spending and contracts rather than what they claim and only provide the bear minimum for people so they survive.

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.

the people who fly and maintain those drones are the same people the government robs with forced taxes, i wouldn't be so sure that the drones will be on the government side.
