Many people regard tax as a burden, because it can reduce the income/ disposable money. Although paying tax is not widely accepted, I think it is reasonable because without tax revenue, the society can not operate appropriately / orderly.
Admittedly, paying taxes impose burden on workers. It is acknowledged that money is a good incentive for those who want to improve their living standards and gain a sense of accomplishment. If taxpayers are subjected to the high tax rates, they may not have incentive to work hard and young generations are not willing to set up their own business. As a result, high income tax rates will encourage people to evade taxes and even mitigate to those low-tax countries.
However, paying tax have positive implications to a country's economy. Many public projects or services are not likely funded / supported by private sector because of the low profit margin. Thus, the government have enough tax revenue, and public facilities, such as railways, schools and hospitals can receive more funds from the state. Public schools can provide children with educational opportunities and enable them to gain knowledge, which is beneficial to the economic development. Conversely, without a good public transport system, commuters may find it difficult to travel to and from work, and traffic congestions can also reduce work efficiency. Moreover,We should recognize that the government can realize the goal of income redistribution by taxation. For example, in many countries the high income group needs to pay high tax, while the low income group can get assistance from the government.
In addition, levying taxes can regulate people' behavior. Sometimes people lack self-discipline and they can not change some bad habits(even if they are informed of the bad consequence of these unhealthy habits).
For example, the heavy tax on cigarette and alcohol products discourages the public from spending on these items.
This change can improve the well-being of people and release the pressure on the medical care system.
To sum up, though some people are subjected to high tax rates, I am still convinced that taxes are lifeblood of a country.

Paying taxes can bring burdens to workers due to the fact that it can reduce their disposable income. Although paying taxes is not accepted widely,the society can not operate well without taxes.
Admittedly, levying taxes can reduce their motivation to workfor high incomes, and people are reluctant to set up their own business. It is acknowledged that money are their incentives because people want to live a high standard life and it also bring accomplishment. Many of them may mitigate to other countries to avoid high taxes, some even move to low tax countries.
However, enough taxes allow the government finance public facilities, including schools, libraries and some roads. If there is no publictransportation, commuters can not go to work on time and traffic congestionscan effect adversely their productivity. Public schools can provideopportunities to receive well-rounded education, which enable them to absorbinformation and acquire knowledge. In contrast, these public service will notbe funded be privates due to their low profit margin. Moreover, by payingtaxes, the government can realize the incomes redistribution. For example, highincome workers should pay high taxes and low income workers can receive theirsupport. In some underdevelopment areas, students can be supported to receiveeducation in order to break the cycle of poverty.
In addition, paying taxes can regulate people's behaviors.Sometimes people may lack self-discipline and they can not change their livinghabits, especially for some are widely accepted to damage our health. Forinstance, consumers have to pay high taxes for cigarettes and alcohol products.People's health can benefit from this, reducing the pressure of medical system.
In summarization, even though some people are subject to high tax rates and tax have adverse effect on economical development , I am still convinced that taxes are lifehood of a country.
