Families who send their children to private schools should not be required to pay taxes that support the state education system. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Inequality is a very real and concerning issue for every

country

in the world.

One

solution governments and politicians suggest will help reduce inequality is to tax citizens based on their level of income so resources can be redistributed to society. While

this

is a debatable topic whether it is the right thing to do or not, I personally believe that we should impose a tax on a more well-off group of

people

and spend it on important things like public transportation or the

education

system.

First

and foremost,

education

is very essential to everyone and it is

one

of the necessities

people

need to build a decent life.

Therefore

, it is a very important area that government needs to pay attention to the most since it can define the future of the entire society. Certainly, you can find decent jobs without a degree but it is a rare case, especially in developing countries.

For example

, in Thailand, a bachelor’s degree is almost a default requirement for most big firms.

Moreover

, the level of

education

of

people

in the

country

is directly related to economic prosperity. More

people

being educated and literate help both citizens and the

country

to be more competitive in the global economy.

Secondly

, in the world of capitalism, if

one

is being well-off, it is always going to be at the expense of others. There is almost impossible that

people

who are rich enough are in the top

one

per cent of the

country

, and get rich by never exploiting cheap labour and natural resources.

Hence

,

people

who are wealthy and can send their kids to prestigious schools always owe something to those who are less unfortunate than them, and taxing them is the way to redistribute money and resources.

This

way, the government can invest the budget on something that will be a crucial component of building decent life like

education

, utilities, or transportation systems. In conclusion, rich

people

should be obligated to taxes to help improve the

country

’s important infrastructures, especially in the state

education

system regardless of where they sent their children to study. and we should spend those taxes on something that will help us build a good and livable

country

, that

people

will wish to raise their children in.
