The goals of taxation are to provide for the welfare of the citizens.
Where would we be without government, military forces, bridges, roads, sanitation, help for the indigent, education of our children, etc., etc.?
What do you think?
What are the goals of taxation? Is it necessary to have a taxation system for survival of large society? Why?

Do all countries have taxation and is it as high as ours?
Most countries have taxation.
Many of their taxes are much higher than ours. For instance, I recently read an article about the Netherlands where the author's income tax was 52% of his salary. Included in his benefits, though, was free medical care.
