Hmmm.............

sweldo for government employees..?
sweldo for tanod, budget for baranggays,
keeping our community clean and safe at the best they could.

Keeping some official's wallet fat, but that's another issue.

There are a lot of benefits from paying taxes..

paved roads
public hospitals
police force
armed forces

[AlbertCruz]

those aren't really benefits

[xavisimao]

really? maybe you're just expecting extravagant benefits from the gov't which they can't afford in the first place


the benefits we get from the gov't may be infinitisimal as compared to other rich countries, but hey at least we are getting something from what we are paying for isn't it?

they are actually benefits. daghan kaayog gamit atong taxes.

sa tinuod lang gamay ra kaayo ni atong tax compare sa ubang countries. mas maayo unta ifocus nila unsaon pagstop sa corruption kesa patas an ang rate sa taxes. mas dako silag ma gain if mastop ang corruption. most of the taxes magamit og personal use sa politicians.

gov employees. naay casual employees sa usa ka city na grabe rajud kadaghan. laliman kag naay mga taw assigned just to guard the plaza. tungod kay boring lagi, nag install nalang tawn silag 4 ka badminton nets sa plaza para naa silay lingaw. imagine, we are wasting our taxes for these lazy people. maypa ila iassign bantay sa spratlys naa pay gamit. lol

contradicting lines. you said those arent really benefits.

kalurki did we mention just you? we enumerated services or people that the government has been paying. they move because of our taxes.

our government allocate the taxes to different departments- education/military/health etc. also, the money we pay to each gov't employee come from the taxes collected.
