Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I think that giving our taxes to things that are worth it like for the military, the government those are good reasons, I don’t think we should be able to keep it even though I would love the extra money. I don’t know what to spend it on when I have it, nobody does it goes to their head just like power people who have more power it tends to go to their head and they get big headed and end up losing it all anyways so what’s the point of having extra money if your just going to spend it all anyway.

Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

I think the question itself is framed by ideology.What we are really asking is whether a healthy, successful society should obligate people to contribute. I believe that it has to, since the reward criteria in capitalism is based on self-interest. If tax did not exist then capitalism would tear apart the benefits of genuine community.

If we weren't taxed, we wouldn't have the ability to upgrade infrastructure, pay first responders. We wouldn't have public schools and we definitely wouldn't have the military.

Taxes are necessary to maintain roads, schools, hospitals and other public services. I do not support welfare but I do want my schools and roads upkept.

The taxes that come from us to help give government paying jobs like police officers and firefighters and other government funded jobs puts us as a country even more in debt. Police officers think they are above the law and think they can kill or arrest anyone they want and get out of it because they have the government on there side. People need to grow up and learn how to help themselves and quit being spoiled and thinking everyone will do everything for them. In today’s society people are spoiled and are given everything so they believe that going through life and growing up they don’t have to do anything for themselves. People need to learn to go out there and get jobs and start supporting themselves from a young age so as they get older they will be able to know how the real world works and not have to rely on others paying taxes to support them trough life.

We need to be taxed to support our society. Either way, the government has control so if they stopped taking taxes out of checks they would just increase the amount of taxes in transactions you purchase things. So either way we will always be taxed but its a great thing because we need it to have nice things that help support our lives... I dont mind being taxed now that I know theres a good cause behind it such as going to our policemen, roads, schools, things like that. With that being said, I think people should be taxed more or less based on their income to create a balance.

Side: No, keep money earned.

As my article states one of the main arguments against taxes is the fundamental basis that it stands on. Whenever taxes were created people did not mind contributing money to help fund schools or public programs, however taxes have been molded into something else where the government expects a certain portion of our money to do whatever they want within the budget. Many investors do more with their money by contributing it to privately owned charities then they do by paying taxes. The amount of money dedicated to public works and schooling now is significantly smaller than many of the other items on the budget list. This shows that all of the tax money we think is going to providing clean water and better roads is actually going to fund some other aspect of the budget instead.

You're article can state whatever it wants, if we don't pay taxes how would we pay for infastructure? I would like to see this budget list you speak of because even if schools aren't getting the majority of the money, that means that the government is spending somewhere else that it's needed. In the future this list might change and schooling could be more prioritized by the government. #baked

The government will get pushy estimate its contributions and entitlements, and each individual is dervetive of society that is entitled to social- conscripts- and portioned to each persons acquisition that socciety measures its rightful share. If the population didn’t work to support themselves and didn’t give to the government then their wouldn’t be any support for our own community.

Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

The things that you can do with your money can’t help society I only say this because, if you had all the resources then we would even have a government to rely on, as long as people are working for their own money and everyone is being taxed then taxes should be okay , taxes help with everything even if it’s not all for society, it still is for the greater good
Debate: Should we be taxed to help society? Or, keep the money we earn?
Side: Yes, we should be taxed.

The sole purpose of the government is for the public good, creating roads, providing education, protecting the homeless, etc. Without our taxes, they would have no money to provide these things, resulting in a lower quality of life for all of us. While it would he great to keep the entirety of money we make, it's necessary that we think about benefiting our country as a whole, instead of just our personal lives.

You might think you can do more for society, you might be right, but you arent paying for the roads or school systems right? That might not be where all of the taxes go but as a high school student, those two things affect me as well as the other hundred of thousands to millions of other students in America. I dont know how the government is exactly holding back civilization if they are trying to improve things.

I don’t know if I would call lending money or having “food stamps” for a single parent who work to provide for there kids with clothes, shelter, health, and education to “crap” on the common people if anything without the goverment... families and people may not have “a push” to go to the next level of getting a step up from their jobs like from working in McDonalds too getting a job in the office that allows more money to provide for themselves or family.

Even though the government uses taxes for things they shouldn’t, such as helping unemployed people who probably just take advantage of it, the government uses taxes to pay for important things such as social security (which provides help to people with disabilities) and defense/security (police). Taxes also help feed people by paying for food stamps and help families with low-income, along with programs for abused and neglected children. Taxes do good for a lot of people.

It does not hold back civilization, it helps it move forward because it helps us with our daily lives. Do you like driving a couple miles without there being a wreck because the roads are messed up? Drinking clean water? Having an education? Or having somewhere to go when your sick or injured? Because I know I do. None of those things would be available when we need them, if we did not pay our taxes. That's just a few of the many reasons that it helps us and doesn't hold civilization back.
