We need to pay taxes, so our government can operate. I do feel like the powers that are do not use the money in the best way possible. There are many programs that depend on the tax dollars that the people pay, and the people need these programs. There are other things, though, that I feel is a waste of our tax dollars. I also feel, our money should be kept in our country. I don't mind helping out, but come on, people in this country need help too.

it's ok. every citizen should give some help to government to keep it strong. it's for the society's sake. as long as it's not corrupted. look in other countries, like the third worlds, they're paying taxes from their hard to earn centavos for nothing

how else would the government get money for schools, police, hospitals, roads etc. If you can think of a better way of funding these things then please tell, but as far as i can see taxes are the best way to earn money.
