This is the continuation of the previous article:
NONSENSE OF THE TAXATION SYSTEM AND BUREAUCRACY - PART 1
And the 2nd nonsense related to the whole tax system is that it is created, constructed and based on fear. I do not really know what the origins of the first taxes are but what I know is that quite often ( or probably always ) people were literally forced to do it by their king, master, governor, god ( church ) etc. And so for example in the Middle Ages if you did not want to pay taxes or you tried to cheat by paying less than you "should" ( about 1/10th of your earnings ), a priest or a bishop would excommunicate you. And it wasn't a good thing: People wouldn't talk to you, you couldn't buy food, you couldn't work, even your family wasn't allowed to talk to you. But then I also remember from my classes of history that there was also another form of punishment for not being "honest". And thus if you did not pay tax then you would have your arms cut off.
Thus are you surprised that our current taxation system is also based on fear and abuse ?
The fear related with taxes has been imprinted in us for centuries and maybe even millenniums. What we have today is just a big tree which grew from the seed of abuse which was planted in the past. Obviously this thing with tax and abuse has left a "deep mark/wound" in us and this is the reason why people do not want to pay tax and or avoid it as much as possible. It does not matter whether you are poor or rich you do not want to pay taxes.
And so here comes another important question:
Seeing that this whole tax system is not really working for us then why don't we change it ?
Look... we all know and agree that having an organization ( like a government ) that takes care of providing services, which benefit the whole society is not only good but in reality it is very necessary thing to have. And obviously it is also necessary to provide resources ( e.g. money ) for this organization to be able to function effectively.
