11 Excellent Reasons to Pay Taxes
As April 15 looms on the horizon, you may wonder why you have to fork over so
much to the government. In colonial days, taxes came from tariffs on imported
goods. It wasn’t until 1913 when Congress made it lawful to collect income tax.
What do you get for paying taxes?
Think paved roads, sidewalks,
and public schools. Without taxes, you could still enjoy a yummy hamburger, but
there wouldn’t be the USDA to inspect the farms where the meat came from. Forget
hot showers or calling the police. Your garbage would rot on your curb…
forever . Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, your public library, and the
bridges connecting you to America’s cities wouldn’t be open. These things, and
so much more, are paid for with your tax dollars. Makes you want to run, not
walk, to your tax accountant, doesn’t it? Well… you know what we mean!
