Paying taxes is a common dilemma for most people because of different reasons – personal issues, business problems, frustrations due to extended deadlines of non-filing, disappointments caused by the government, or distrust in the tax system.
Your taxes are being collected by the government that you, your family, and your neighbors can benefit from. So when you feel frustrated or upset when Uncle Sam comes to visit, consider the following benefits you incur from paying your taxes.
From the moment you get up in the morning and take a shower. The clean water from the faucet and the drainage systems in place were made possible because of your tax dollars. When you leave your home and drive your car along the highway, notice the paved roads and the maintenance of roads, bridges, tunnels, the traffic lights, signs, and even, flood control are built and available to us because of the tax payers, including you.
Aside from being a tax payer, you’re also a community builder. Your tax dollars build and help maintain public schools, and you’re helping scholars reach their goals. Who knows, maybe your tax is currently paying for the education of the next Einstein or Newton of the future. You are investing in this not only this generation, but also creating a better world and an improved community, state, and country for the next years to come.
For safety and security, you don’t need to worry anymore, a portion of your tax is being allocated for police funds, and other law enforcement units. In addition, the government is offering free consultations and medications in public hospitals and clinics. Doctors and facility usage is being funded by your taxes.
To sum it all up, the taxes that we pay are well distributed for each and everyone’s benefit. You’re not just a tax payer, but you’re also a good citizen of the country due to your compliance with the law.
Keep doing your part in shaping a better community, a better world for everybody, and for your children’s children.
