Some people believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not have to pay tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued by some people that all their earnings should be used for their personal needs and not taxed by the government. I disagree with

this

notion because taxation

In other words

by people in many countries is proportional to their earnings.

Thus

For instance

on luxury goods commonly use by the affluent in many countries, whereas, individuals who do not have a regular

are excepted from certain taxes.

This

has resulted in a more even society.

Furthermore

, taxes are needed for the development of infrastructure and the provision of essential services.

This

is due to the fact that most governments pay for these public infrastructures and services from

tax

incomes.

For example

, in many countries, the state pay for security, health care and social amenities from the

tax

it receives.

Therefore

, if the government does not receive

revenue, it would neither be able to pay for important services nor develop public infrastructure. In conclusion, I disagree with the view that people should keep their

rather than pay

because taxation

in many countries and it is the main means governments fund public services and infrastructures. Efforts geared towards promoting these merits should be encouraged.
