I strongly believe that you could not do “a lot more” wth your money than the government , th government is set up with the tax system so that we did have to worry about spending our money and not have to pay for things out of pocket. So you are going to pay to build schools, pave roads, fund shelters etc. all these things are types of examples of things our tax dollars pay for. And truthfully the amount you give up in taxes is not as much as it would be for you to pay for common luxuries we are given daily. While I do agree the government is not always the best and doesn’t always make the best decisions with tax money I do still believe that all in all the tax system is a good thing and something that is necessary for our survival and for the common good of the way we live.

Taxes are vital to the lives we live everyday and without them we would have no way of paying, for all the things like roads and schools and public education etc. Taxes are a necessary sacrifice to ensure that we have better quality of life daily.
