問題詳情:
36 The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.
37 That is, 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, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, 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 later sold in shops. 38
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, 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. 39 And we cannot have an army without paying for it.
40 We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.
A. Why must we pay taxes?
B. Why do people often complain?
C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.
D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled.
E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.
F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.
G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.
