Some people think that we should keep all the money we earn and not pay tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

We all know that the money we earn has been partly paid to the country as tax, and
this
Linking Words
fact has aroused an argument that the income we make should be totally kept in our own hands
instead
Linking Words
of the nation. Considering the living standards and the education, I strongly disagree with
this
Linking Words
idea.
Firstly
Linking Words
, the fact that a decrease will occur in the quality of our living standards indicates that citizens should pay
taxes
Use synonyms
to the country they live in. To be more specific, the financial budgets that the government distributes to build basic infrastructures,
such
Linking Words
as electricity, water stations and so on, are all from the
taxes
Use synonyms
we pay.
Therefore
Linking Words
, once no one pays
taxes
Use synonyms
to the nation, the basic infrastructure will be outdated soon, leading to difficulties in our lives and a reduction in the quality of our living standards.
As a result
Linking Words
, paying
taxes
Use synonyms
is not only for the country but
also
Linking Words
for ourselves.
Secondly
Linking Words
,
such
Linking Words
a style of keeping the earnings in our own hands will lead to conflicts in education between the rich and the normal or the poor.
In other words
Linking Words
, without tax, the public schools will disappear soon, and excellent educational resources, like teachers and equipment, are more likely to be captured by people who have more economic strength, causing normal people to have not enough teachers and other resources that are necessary for education. In comparison, paying
taxes
Use synonyms
to the state is beneficial to solving these issues in order to ease the disharmony of society. In conclusion,
although
Linking Words
paying
taxes
Use synonyms
looks like no profits for ourselves in daily life, it impacts every corner.
Besides
Linking Words
, a bright future can only be formed by paying more
taxes
Use synonyms
.
