Everyone complains about taxes， yet think about what would happen if there were no longer an income tax。 In a 250－word essay， discuss the positive effects of an income tax， the negative effects， or both。
It hurts to look at a paycheck and see how much of it was taken out for income tax。 That money could have paid some important bills。 It is easy to dream of doing away with the income tax and keeping all that money for ourselves。
If there were no income tax， however， the government would have a lot less to spend。 The money we send to Washington seems to fall into a black hole and disappear。 Actually， though， many people depend on it。 The money pays the salaries of government employees， who provide services from drug control to highway building。 It supports our military defense。 Also， much of the money is returned to people in the form。 of student loans， veterans benefits， and payments to farmers， for example。 The government has been working to cut its budget lately。 With every cut， someone complains loudly。
So if the income tax were eliminated， other taxes would have to make up for it。 Paying those other taxes would also hurt。 Sales taxes fall most heavily on poor people。 Taxes on manufacturers only result in higher prices to consumers。
Income taxes are not fun to pay。 But doing without them would be worse。 In my opinion， income taxes should be made as fair as possible。 Then we each must bite the bullet and do our share。
