What is the definition of Tax? ๐ ๐
Money paid to the government other than for transaction-specific goods and services.
Alright class, settle down, letโs take a look, At this word โtax,โ a concept we must cook! The dictionary gives us a helpful clue, โMoney paid to the government, it's true!โ But it goes on to say, with a little grace, Itโs ๐not๐ for things you buy in this place. Not just for groceries or a shiny new shoe, But something broader, for me and for you! Think of it like this: the government needs funds, To build roads and schools โ as everyone understands. They need money to run, to keep things bright, And โtaxesโ are how they gather it with might! Itโs a contribution, a shared decree, To support our nation for all to see. So taxes cover services wide and vast, Like defense and parks โ built to forever last! Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose? Let's discuss this "tax" and how it grows!
