Some people think that they should be able to keep the money they earn and do not have to pay tax. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#people #money #tax
It is widely believed that paying taxes is a waste of
money
 because it lowers the amount of
money
 you make. Personally, I completely disagree with
this
 statement for a variety of reasons. First of all, paying taxes helps you to maintain a safe and economical
life
. When you spend the
money
 for
tax
 ( or the government), they are insuring benefits for your
life
 and protecting you.
For example
, health and education are always included in your
life
 ( except the university or some sort of disaster) so you don't have to worry about them.
Also
, if you have a disaster, the amount of
money
 you pay will be less than people without paying taxes.
Furthermore
,
tax
 is the main expenditure to increase the quality of
life
 around where you live.
This
 means that buildings and services will have higher quantity and quality because the government have enough
money
 which is from
tax
 and they can have chances to make a better country.
For example
, when your country is more developed, it means that the value of your national currency will rise.
Hence
, the value of yourself will be seen more than before.
As a result
, you will be more wealthier, have a better
life
 with more chances and advantages in business. In conclusion, paying
tax
 is an advisable move that any citizen should make because the amount of profitable things that it gives us just outweigh the disadvantage. In my opinion, I think the creation of
tax
 is just amazing and everyone should pay for it.
