Why do we pay income taxes?

Because it is how our country operates (all 50 states).

To pay for the government and the things the government provides. Like schools, roads, law enforcement, our military, the postal system, and lots and lots of other stuff.

So we can have road, infrastruture, services, etc.

To help pay the cost of running the government and the infrastructure of the United States.

National highways, NASA, national parks, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Environmental Protection Agency, student loans, some social services, flood insurance, U.S. Postal Service, President's salary, salary of 435 representatives, salary of 100 senators, and all of their support staff, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Justice, Science, Department of Energy and Water, Homeland Security, Interior and Environment, Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, Department of State, Foreign Operations, Department of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and a few hundred miscellaneous earmarks each and every year.

No matter what conspiracy theorists say, current corporate income taxes won't even come close to completely funding the government. In fact, military spending alone equals or exceeds the total amount collected from corporate income taxes.

To pay the cost of running the government. If you can come up with a better way, I'm all ears!


ready4sea
People don't always realize that they are taking for granted quite a lot of infrastructure, services and protection. Roads, schools, police, military, postal service, water lines, sewer lines, universities, etc. Those things cost money, and that money has to come from somewhere.

So the government have money to build schools,bridges etc.
give money to poorer section of the society and hundred more reasons that we may or may not agree.


kate
Because most people cannot afford private schools ,
And all the kids need an education .
Also , to pay for roads and fire fighters and county paramedics and police and soldiers and NASA and the space station and the Air Force and bridges and the Coast Guard and all the things society must have but are too expensive for any 1 person to pay for .

to pay interest on the national debt. sales taxes and local taxes pay for said things as roads police etc.

federal income taxes (income doesn't mean wages it means profit) pays the interest on the debt. this debt goes to the federal reserve which is not a fed but a private bank. private property was never to be taxed, when your paid a wage that is a compensation for your labor. it is not a capital gains. wages are private property.

if we didn't have the fed reserve we wouldn't be in so much debt the government is authorized to make the money debt free, tho we would still pay voluntary taxes (sales and such) we can buy the product or not.
