Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things,for example,to pay its soldiers,sailors and airmen,to build roads,bridges,offices,schools,etc,and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money.
One of the most important taxes is incometax which a person pays according to the amount of his income,whether he is a merchant,a doctor,a lawyer,a shopkeeper,a miner or anything else.This is called a “direct”tax,because it is paid in money directly to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches,jewelry,new clothes,tobacco,wine,etc,when they are brought into a country.Such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are late sold in shops.We call it “indirect”tax,because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes,but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need.We need policemen to catch thieves,to see that men obey the laws,to direct traffic,etc,and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean,and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid.Above all,the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies,and we can't have an army without paying for it.Besides,if a country wants to develop,there are many other things to do.
Taxes,therefore,cannot be avoided.We buy our food and clothes and pay for our amusements; but,there are several things that the State finds the money for,and that is necessary for us if our society is to continue.We have no real reason to complain,therefore,when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellowcitizens.

Junior Achievement is an international movement to educate young people about business and economics.It has helped many of them succeed in a world economy since it was founded.
The organization is the largest of its kind.JA Worldwide says it reaches over eight million students each year in more than one hundred countries.Programs begin in elementary school and continue through middle and high school.The education is based on the ideas of marketbased economics and entrepreneurship.
Junior Achievement began in 1919 in Springfield,Massachusetts.Two business leaders,Horace Moses and Theodore Vail,joined with Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts to start it.
For more than fifty years,Junior Achievement programs met after school.They began as a group of business clubs.The organization started with a number of children of ages ten to twelve.
But in nineteen seventyfive,Junior Achievement began to offer classes during school hours.Many more young people joined the organization once it began to teach business skills as part of the school day.
Volunteers from the community teach about businesses,such as how they are organized,and how products are made and sold.They also teach about the American and world economies and about industry and trade.
The Junior Achievement Company Program teaches young people how entrepreneurship works.They learn about business by operating their own companies.
The students develop a product and sell shares in their company.They use the money to buy the materials they need to make their product,which then they sell.Finally,they return the profits to the people who bought shares in the company.
Junior Achievement says two hundred eightyseven thousand volunteers support its programs around the world.In the United States alone,there are more than twentytwo thousand places that hold Junior Achievement events.
Junior Achievement Incorporated and Junior Achievement International combined their operation in two thousand four.They formed Junior Achievement Worldwide.Its headquarters are in Colorado Springs,Colorado.
