Some people believe that government must apply high taxes to provide good public services for everyone. What is your opinion?

#people #government #taxes #services
Over a few decades, trillions of dollars in
taxes
 have been collected by the governments of every nation. Still, satisfying improvement in the quality of
facilities
 governments provide cannot be seen.
Therefore
, problems
such
 as poverty, and unemployment come into existence enormously. In my opinion, applying high
taxes
 may not be a suitable option. The government requires an alternative way to boost the economy, more manpower with job opportunities can be the best option.
Consequently
, unemployment will completely end, and the rise of the economic condition can be observed which will have a direct influence on the quality of government’s service.
For example
, Qatar is a tax-free country,
although
 citizens get good
facilities
 because their economy depends upon manpower.
Secondly
, priority towards the country's treasure only does not distribute the best
facilities
, the leaders should not promote corruption. If the corrupt leader gets elected
then
 the quality
facilities
 are far away, and residents will not get the basic needs.
For instance
, Sri Lanka has become bankrupt, and the residents are facing a financial crisis because of corrupt ministers.
However
, collecting
taxes
 is
also
 crucial for a nation because we can see several countries like the USA, which implement more tax but provide much more discounts on hospitals
as well as
 studies. Admittedly, people in developing countries cannot afford
taxes
 so the idea of applying high
taxes
 is not appropriate. In conclusion,
instead
 of collecting more
taxes
, providing job opportunities
along with
 standing against corruption may be a better solution to uplift the finances of a nation which have a direct influence on better
facilities
 given by the government.
