Most people pay taxes to contribute to the development of their country, however, some think they have other responsibilities rather than paying taxes. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In most of the countries, the
government
 operates with revenue collected through the tax. A few people believe that they are only obliged to remit the taxes.
However
, others opine that they must involve in other social reforming activities to support their society. In my opinion, obeying the rules and regulations of the
country
 is as important as paying taxes. On the one hand, except the oil-rich countries, most of the other countries run their
government
 with revenue generated through taxes. All
government
 policies, projects, subsidies, and schemes are funded by the money raised through tax. Even the salary of
government
 servants is paid using these funds.
Thus
, it is clear that every citizen of a
country
 must pay taxes.
On the other hand
, In a
country
, there are certain rules and regulations that every citizen must abide. If people are arrogant and fail to obey the laws, it is difficult to maintain peace and tranquility in the
country
.
Moreover
, it results in economic depression and may lead the
country
 to civil war.
For instance
, the Syrian
government
 had enough revenue from oil reserves, but people had an aggressive attitude to other
country
 dwellers. People failed to follow the legal system and lead to civil war.
Thus
, the economy depressed and people are forced to move out of the
country
 for asylum.
Additionally
, people can offer voluntary services in the underdeveloped regions of the
country
.
For example
, educational workshops and health camps can be organized in the remote location of the
country
 through which they can support the
government
. Better education and health care system is the tool to eradicate poverty. To conclude, every citizen of the
country
 is obliged to pay taxes.
However
, abiding the rules and regulations of the
country
 is as important as paying taxes.
