Sorry, I don't buy this argument. People in every country, regardless of how good their government is, want to personally pay as little taxes as possible. If people in XYZ-Amazing-Country knew that they could reduce their personal tax bill by 30% in a way that's guaranteed to be safe, a huge portion of the population would take advantage of it too. It's a class Economics tragedy-of-the-commons problem.

- wav-part 10y agoSo ? Are you saying we should pay taxes even if governement is wasting most of it ? You know what would motivate me to pay taxes ? Crystal clear development plans with additional gurantees that It would not be used to support bloated bureaucracy and subsidies. Also who said governements are the only one who has to develop infrastructres ?
- __Joker 10y agoNo, you should pay taxes and make government accountable to it.
- wav-part 10y agoWhich can be classified under "fix your government" but had we done that, we would not even be here. Up until now governments have been in the background in exploiting its people. But today this has changed. I hope/expect this would pave way for small-limited-government movement in India. This is the darkness before new morning.
