Taxes
It taxes the citizens.
when you buy things it will be added to your bill. if your a business then yes you will have to pay the government directly
Taxes were created to help the government pay for things. Taxes help pay for things such as the salary for public officials, road repairs and public assistance.
It just means that Government entities don't pay tax. The Federal Government for example doesn't pay tax to a State, including things like sales tax or property tax.
I feel that are worried because they will lose money that we have to pay to the government. because if people start dying that means the government loses people people pay fore things like taxes.
How do we pay for our government
For the same reason we do to pay the government for things like the temple or walls! Thier tax pays the priests also.
In a way, it is because it is used to get more money to the government to pay for things and solve problems.
Luke 20:25 "And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's." Caesar is government, so pay respect to his law and pay taxes due.
To pay for goods that won't be provided by the free market
The Federal government is the level of government we pay income taxes to.
