问题     Some people believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not pay any tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     Many people regard tax as a burden, because it can reduce their disposable income. I think that we need to pay tax, because without tax revenue, the society cannot function appropriately.
    If the government has tax revenue, more funds can be used to build public facilities such as roads, schools and hospitals. Without a great public transport system, commuters find it difficult to travel to and from work, and traffic congestion could reduce work efficiency. Public schools can provide children with educational opportunities, and without a well-educated workforce, a country cannot sustain economic growth. Private investors are normally not interested in transport links and schools, which do not generate considerable profits.
    Levying taxes can also regulate people’s behaviour and encourage them, especially those who sometimes fail to show self-restraint, to break bad habits. For example, the heavy tax on cigarette and alcohol discourages the public from spending on these items. The resulting lifestyle changes can improve their health and reduce hospital visits, thereby easing the pressure on the medical system.
    On the other hand, if taxpayers are subject to high taxes, they may not have the incentive to work hard and entrepreneurs are also not willing to set up a business. Money is a great motivator for most people because with high income, they can improve living standards and gain a sense of accomplishment. Without the hard work of these people and their willingness to show their talents, a country would not become prosperous and the welfare system could not be sustained.
    Overall, I am convinced that taxes are the lifeblood of the economy although high taxes can have an adverse effect on economic growth.
