taxes

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.
