Some people believe they should keep all the money they have earned and should not pay tax to the state. Do you agree or disagree?

Every government levies several type of taxes in the form of service charge, income tax, federal tax etc. A large amount of sum has to be paid by tax-payers which augments hostility towards the government. It’s true that a fraction of hard earned money is collected by government however, medical facilities, schools and universities establishment, and infrastructure maintenance are various support provided by the government which require contribution from the residents to collect enough of fiscal amounts.

First of all, medical facilities provided by the government cannot be ignored. A government ensures the proper medical facilities from the taxes paid by the people. These medical facilities require a huge amount of money which gets reduced because of the government’s support. Consider the people suffering from cancer; treatment of cancer is costly and a person of bourgeois class can’t afford the medical cost. The aid given by the government reduces the expenditure.

Second, government builds the infrastructure, which account for the development of the country as well as the residents. An enormous amount of money is required for the infrastructure establishment and government need a hand for it. Tax payer money is invested which not only benefits them in terms of electricity facility, better water supply and education facility but also facilitate better transportation, industries development etc which account directly or indirectly in the advancement of the country. Development brings employment which cause increased salary compensation.

To conclude, tax payer’s money indirectly gets invested in the betterment of the people and residents of the country. Considering the facilities being provided, developed infrastructure which account for advancement of the country, I favour the taxes levied on the people.
