      Taxes are LAW and you don’t decide when or whether you pay them.

      If we don’t pay taxes how are our authorities going to get the money to provide services.

      Furthermore if each citizen reserved the right to decide to pay taxes only when he/she THINKS they’re getting their “value for their money”, then nobody would EVER pay taxes.
