What's the reason behind being born just to pay taxes?

I think so the world would have a meaning for living and a value to that meaning.

Government like people have good and bad traits.  The taxes also pay for the schools, roads, services, courts, police and many more services that we used daily without knowing it.  We usually have to be more active politically to get the government to change.

Sure it sounds, great that's what are taxes are go for right? But in today society it would not be politically correct. We are a F@#$#$ up country with way to many loop holes. We first have to start filling up all the holes. Start by not allowing babies being born here granted citizenship.

What?!? And all these years I've been paying. . .\nNo, we are absolutely required to pay income taxes! We actually OVER-pay each year, and then in the Spring we get a partial refund. That's always nice, to help cover any credit card purchases we may have made at Christmas, or to do a home improvement project. But many Americans end up having to pay in even more, because not enough has been deducted from their wages throughout the previous year. OUCH!

I think it's a great idea too. Everyone should, at some point in their life, contribute something (other than taxes) to the country they live in. Making it mandatory would make it less enjoyable, however. People should do it because it's the right thing to do, not because it's required.

Paying taxes.  It's easier to handle.

There are, of course, multiple answers to this question:\n\nEquitable distribution of wealth.  Those who make more money pay more in taxes.  Taxes fund social programs such as welfare and food stamps.\n\nSustainability of the gov't.  Those bombs we use don't grow off trees!  Neither does the salary of congressmen and women.\n\nUsed as an ultimatum against British colonization:  No taxation without representation!  Self-government and taxes appear to go hand-in-hand.

Because they want everything paid for..they believe the government is like Mommy and Daddy; that the government should take care of everything.  This idea presents problems, however, since where the money is spent becomes subjective.  If everyone is created equal, then how can one decide who is more 'needy'?  The democrats favor the poor.  The rich already have money so they should share it with those who arent as 'lucky'.  People abuse this idea.  I have seen people sit at home collecting a govt check who have no intention of getting work.  Another problem with this approach is that when you allow the government to pay for everything, you allow the government to have a 'say' in things.  I digress.  Taxes pay for this democratic idea. Basically, Republicans believe you need to work; smaller government.  (If you worked hard and earned a good income, you shouldn't be penalized.) I can go on but I'm sure I will digress again.

Paying taxes didn't bother me until my tax dollars started funding the ridiculous war that we are in. It also bothers me when I am paying too much money in taxes every year. True I get a big refund back, but that means that I am basically giving the government an interest-free loan, and that makes me angry.

Oh what bullshit about "Gods way of making us work hard..." blah blah blah...the majority of rich people were born rich. Alot of it happens because of the goverment, and location. There's many factors...but don't bring something like GOD into this. What a lame ass answer...

Because money buys laws and laws change things so that big corporations can make record billion dollar profits and give more money to Congress to keep the tax cuts permanent for the filthy rich to get richer. So once you're in that tax bracket you turn into a big snob and your attitude soon changes "just let them eat cake". You see other nations that have certain social programs that keep people more interested in keeping people healthy and  funding education for the children so they have something to look forward to in the future rather than resulting to crime to make a buck.

Because the government can't pay for anything themselves so they tax innocent people to get the money they need so they can have more power (money=power)

Nope, too many people with too much influence don't want it and lobby hard against it.  Why would they want to pay a flat tax if they currently pay little or no tax to begin with?

only people who pay income tax should be allowed to vote\nthat might influence the answer to your question

To be born in the United States. Then you're automatically a citizen. Can't get much easier than that.
