Taxes - Good or bad? - [Closes 18/10/07]

[---MAD---]

Many people complain about paying taxes and hate the time of month when they have to pay the tax bills.

Do you think taxes are good or bad for countries/economies?

Happy debating!

People should stop whining, they pay a small amount and then from the rest of the countries tax's they can be put back into making a better Britain.

It's not so much good or bad, but it's necessary. The money for new houses, the upkeep of towns etc has to come from somewhere, so they created a council tax.

I don't there is a more efficient way to get money for the running of our country outside of taxes. I do however, Think thats some things that are taxed in this country and aren't in others are slightly unfair.

Random debate. Taxes are good, it's only daft over taxing which is bad.

[Virgin Mary]

The concept itself is good. Whether it's put to ridiculous use is bad.

Taxing overall is a good thing as it goes to health, schools etc. If we didn't pay taxes we couldnt get health care etc

[Spectate]

Taxes are completely necessary, unless you have anarchist tendencies. Maybe it'd be better to debate whether they should be higher / lower? Just a suggestion.
