TAXES
AND THE IRS _________________
As United States citizens,
we are obligated to pay taxes to the IRS
to support our government. Though we don't
enjoy taxation, we realize that it is
necessary to provide the resources for
government. The IRS serves a function
to assist our quality of life.
Taxes provide for a variety of services
including law enforcement, roads, public
works and other aspects of the economic
infrastructure, the military, and even
our legal tender. In addition, the funds
derived from taxes provide for social
aid and other public services.
Without the IRS to collect these taxes,
we would not benefit from these services.
With this in mind, we can feel a little
better about paying our taxes to the IRS,
yet none of us should have to pay more
than our fair share. With careful tax
planning, record keeping and filing, we
don't have to.
