WHY I PAY TAX...

I may not agree with the way the government funcions. But it will never deter me from discharging my duties to this country. I came across a short write up “Why Indian don’t pay taxes” in a newspaper. It listed the government’s failure to provide electricity (so they installed inverters), water (so they installed submersible pumps), security (so they engage private security guards), schools (so they send their kids to private schools), hospitals (so they head for private hospitals) and transportation (so they buy their own cars). It just made me wonder who a representative sample would be, who can have this anguish. Evidently not a person from the lower middle class or lower economic class family. It is the semi-elite upper-middle-class and upper-class citizen who lament in this manner. A tax is  “ a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions,”
