From this article I learned about the different types of taxes. I think that taxes are good for some reasons but also I think that some of the money goes to things that I would rather not have my money go toward.

The seven taxes are actually very important for our standered of living in america. They also seem to be mostly steered toward richer people to, as some of them only effect business and such. on the other hand i dont understand why we need to tax dead people.

Its amazing to know how many taxes there are. At least they offer benefits. And its not just a way to take others money.

i didn't know there were seven different types of taxes. I knew there were a lot, but not that many. This article tells you the differences of each of the taxes and what they are for. Some of the reasons are very understandable, but others are not. For example, taxing more having to do with larger amounts of money makes sense, but taxing dead people does not.

i knew bout some of the tax. But i didn't now there was 7 of them. I only knew the income tax but i did't know the other tax place.

There are many Taxes that take our money but they also help out us.Even if it don't effect you directly but still helps others and will give them the help they need to get on their feet and get going.So I wouldn't mind paying them to help out others that need the help.

i learned a lot about taxes and they are good because they help the people,but i don't like the fact the same of the things my money isn't all ways going to help the people. the tax i don't like the most is the income tax because it cuts off some of my money.

if the government is going to tax people, at least make it beneficial, if i'm paying a certain percentage of my paycheck away to the government, i at least want to use it.

The 7 types of taxes make sense. Well six of them do. The one i do not understand at all is taxing dead people. That does not help America and the economy.

Their are 7 types of taxes like income taxes , consumptive taxes, corporate taxes . payroll taxes and more. I think paying taxes is a very good idea because taxes help pay so many things like better schools , new and improved buildings . I agree with search that taxes are only good for certain things.

I didn't think there were types of taxes or that there was more than one for that matter. And understanding each one isnt easy. But all in all i think some taxes are understandable to pay for and others i just wouldnt care to. I don't want to pay for a child molesters food,shelter and necessities.

There are seven different types of taxes: income taxes, property taxes, consumptive taxes, corporate taxes, payroll taxes, and inheritance taxes. These are grouped by individual, business, and other. The individual taxes are mainly what is paid when a consumer buys something, the business is mainly taxes on paychecks, and other are a variety.

NBogard said...

The seven taxes are pretty much useless I think the taxing of the big companys should be done. But three taxes on the individual person is just a bit to much to do to all of us. I think one tax should be enough for all of us. Just an income tax.

This article covers the different types of taxes. I learned that the taxes they take from us are put back in this country for public services. it also explained the different ways taxes affect different people.

There are 7 different types of taxes. Our taxes go to some good things but i also feel our tax money goes to things i would rather have it not go to. The individual taxes are normally what consumers spend after buying something. But i do think we just need to have one income tax.

I don't like income taxes because took my money away...

If you think about it half of these taxes you don't even realize that you are paying for them. Except for the income tax which you do every year.

DustinX4 said...

I learnt what kinds of taxes do what and I believe they are needed and I agree with all of them.

This article explains the seven different taxes and why they are all important... That being said. I still don't really understand the taxing of deceased... Oh well, but other than that I feel like as long they are putting it to good use I'll put up with being taxed

rrobinson4 said...

basically it is talking about different taxes and what there taxes on

EnaRedzepagic said...

I agree with bay the way they tax dead people is not really understandable to me. The way they tax the businesses though makes sense. I also did not know that there were that many different taxes. And China B makes a good point when she says that some are good for certain reasons.

Seven types of taxes? Bet that was a shocker for a lot of people including me. I guess they will eventually come in hand one day but right now U.S just needs to pay attention to the main type of taxes.

triley6 said...

I agree with China B. I never knew it was many types of taxes either. And also I agree that taxes really helps people that really needs it.
