Wouldn't it be great if you could just fill out a form saying "I don't wanna pay tax" and then not pay tax.
No, because then the government wouldn't have the funds to keep society running.
I like paying taxes.
The money has to come from somewhere. And if I didn't pay taxes, it means everyone else will have to pay more.
If every company/individual/... paid the taxes they were owed, we would have a tax rate of like 10-20%
I don't. Every time a child is burned alive, every time hundreds are made homeless by a drone strike, every time a book is banned, every time an innocent is murdered by police, I'm part of that, I funded that. I hate it.
The tough part is that you are both correct.
Yup. Like with most things related to governing, it's necessary, but exploitable. It needs regulation, but the bigger it gets, the harder it is to regulate, but if we made it smaller, it wouldn't be effective enough.
