Some people say that people should keep all their earnings and don't have to pay taxes to government. Do you agree or disagree with this statement

In modern days,

government

impose

taxes

for the economic growth of the nation.

However

, a section of society believes that the

government

should not deduct

taxes

from their income. I completely disagree with

this

notion and strongly believe that citizens are entitled to pay

taxes

for the prosperity of the nation and for an improved standard of living.

Firstly

, it is an undeniable fact that

government

runs on the revenue generated from tax collection. These

taxes

are collected for providing better infrastructures, transport systems, health facilities, public schools, universities and so on. There is no doubt that it is used for improving the standard of living of the general public.

For example

, residents of Canada and Australia enjoy the best medical and primary education facilities for free and it is possible only when people contributed to the

government

in the form of

taxes

.

Secondly

, in some countries, paying

taxes

is a way of saving for retirement. The people in those countries enjoy retirement benefits when they are aged. After the age of 60, it is very rare to find a job with handsome earning and whatever a person earns is quite nominal. So, the pension provided by the

government

is extremely helpful for them.

For example

, in countries like Canada and Australia,

government

provide retirement benefits to elderly citizens since they have paid

taxes

when they were working.

Additionally

, a portion of funds is used to strengthen the defence of the country , ultimately ensuring the safety of a common person. To conclude , the

government

use

taxes

to build the nation and to ensure that every citizen must get a better standard of living. It is the responsibility of every citizen to pay

taxes

to make the country prosper.
