We all know that government is a concept, not any physical identity, neither a living body. It can be said that only rules and law of a country, or more specifically the constitution can define government. But people or at least and individual is a living being, a human. Anybody who represents the government is also a living being. Let us analyze how money works between these two parties, the government and the people or an individual.
People create value through their work, government collect taxes on this work, since most of the transaction happens in cash, it simply means that people promise government to keep the creation of more values in order to build the society or the nation. We already mentioned at many places that you give cash means you give promise. But you give this promise for what? What have you taken? You have provided value to the society and hence you earned, then why are you paying taxes.
It can be said that this is the kindness of an individual, he serves a country, then he earns this means he takes promise from those who take his service and then he promises the government to serve more. This clearly means that an earning individual is actually a real nation builder.
If you think that government provides you security and for this security you are paying tax to it, then you must also notice that security is also provided by group of individuals, let it be physical or cognitive. Even a government employee take bill of promise, i.e cash, from the government department and serves the nation, in return he also pays tax, this means he promises that he will keep doing this service. But the major question still remains the same, why, why are we so obliged. We are producing value and we are promising that we will produce more.
For answering this let us first of all try to understand what the government means actually, if you think carefully you will discover that government represents a nation. A big piece of land which we call as country, it has its own sovereignty. Now what is this nation? We can clearly differentiate between India and Pakistan, USA and UK. But how? one the basis of Religion, Ethnicity, Environment, Culture, History, Law or Language ? Well, probably all of them.
This means that we are promising these features that we will keep protecting and serving them, It has kept us integrated in past and in present as well, so we are obliged to them. Though they are more cognitive in nature, but still we want to believe them as real, because they do help us in reality. When individual fell prey to the nihilism of life, these features help him overcome it. If you really find life irrelevant then try to understand these subjects in deep, you will definitely be able to resurface. Read History of your country, try to understand people around you, try to know the rules and try to understand their relevance, Understand your culture, practice your religion, if you live in a secular nation then you may also develop some interest in other religion, You will definitely find it helpful. Once you will recover you will develop a feel of respect for them and you will be obliged. I hope you now understand it clearly why we pay taxes and how money works between people and government.
