Paying up your Taxes

Taxes are the life blood of the nation. A country could not do its function without its people paying up their taxes. But what happen in the Philippines is that most Filipinos are discouraged to pay taxes or pay the right taxes because their mentality is that the taxes that they paid only goes to the personal use of government officials. But whether or not our taxes are corrupted or not, my point is that, as mature and responsible individuals, we should pay the right taxes that we are expected to pay. It’s now up to our government officials’ conscience if they will give it back to us through public projects or they will use it personal use.
