we pay for
firefighters
water in our cities,towns
so man debts
so many familes
cannot offord to pay
we want to stop paying
but we cant because
we are paying for
our
protection
they help us in everyday life
so I guess we will keep paying taxes
for the good of our families
Reflection:
I was putting myself in a families shoes that cannot offord to pay taxes. Then they realize that they have to beacuse the firefighters help us and protect us we also pay for our water and all other important things and they are paying it for the good of there family.

Taxes are important but some familes are in finacial crises and can't afford to pay them. So many families are in debt that it is hard to keep up with the taxes. Taxes are important because they pay for our firefighters, water, and many more important things in our cumunities, towns, and cities!. Taxes are good and bad.

why we pay taxes
Everyone pays taxes. Some people cant afford to but they find a way. We mostly pay income and sales taxes. But the question every one is asking is why do we pay these taxes? We pay these taxes because The federal government uses your tax dollars to support Social Security, health care,national defense and social services such as food stamps and housing.The city you live in provides you with many things such as water,garbage services,police and fire protection. All of these occupations are very important to the citizens, but cant we just pay them one by one not from taxes?The sad thing is that not every one can afford to pay it individually.Our tax system is based on our "ability to pay." The more money we earn, the more taxes we pay. And the opposite is also true. If we earn a small income, we pay less taxes.
