If you had the option would you pay taxes?

[rusty needles]

and if you didn't you wouldn't receive any of the "benefits" of paying taxes. If your house is on fire you can't call the fire department, if you get robbed you can't call the police and if you live in canada you can't go to a hospital.

So you'd be exempt from public services and records. I for one would take this option in a second. I pay little on the way of taxes anyway the majority of my taxes coming off a paycheck and cigarettes. I believe my money is mine alone and a situation is rarely too grave to need assistance from public servants.

how about you folks?

public schools are grossly underfunded. If you kept all your tax money you could send your kid to a private school which is a tax exemption anyway.

personally if I had a kid I'd want them to go to public school though.

many public schools in canada are P3, built by companies then leased to the city

What are taxes?

[patton]

I would pay taxes for the benefits. Police department, fire department, education, a military to keep people from invading the country are all nice things to have that I don;t mind taxpayer money going to, but what pisses me the fuck off is when liberals spend taxpayer money on wasteful government projects. Things like universal health care piss me off, and welfare abuse. However, for the most part I believe taxes are a necessary evil.

[KikoSanchez]

Can we choose to pay partial taxes? I would pay for some services/departments, but not for others.

[BrokeProphet]

I would not pay it.

I would probably say to myself "someone else will".

Everyone would do this.......we would not have a military and would be speaking chinese in a few short years.

------

Ideally, citizens should have more of a choice on where their taxes go.

If I had a choice...a few things that would go unfunded by me...

Welfare
CIA
FBI
ATF
NSA
DHS
Social Security

Taxes suck. I would have a Ferrari if I didn't have to pay taxes.
