Question

You get your first paycheck and notice that a percentage of your money has gone to taxes. Your employer explains that everyone has to pay taxes. Why do you have to pay taxes? What would happen if you did not pay taxes? What type of taxes do you currently have to pay and why?

Answer 1

You need to pay because the money will be sent to the govt & the govt will use the money to pay other jobs i.e. garbage man, snow clearing etc.

If you don't pay taxes you will be confronted by the govt & will go to jail as a consequence.
Although, if you have an issue for not paying the taxes; unemployed then the govt will assist you.

The type of taxes that you have to pay is for groceries, federal tax given to the federal govt, & payroll tax; paying a min wage salary from pay-check.

Hope this helps :)
