What does a small business pay taxes for?

Nobody can clearly answer this question to me. No, I do not mean that we do not pay, and even not for lower rates. I haven’t gotten into the tax tax yet - I haven’t seen it in my eyes, despite the fact that I have been the General Director and Chief Accountant for two years.

Then what's the matter, ask? And the matter is simply in logic. Well, I can not understand what kind of real services I get in return for taxes paid.

Let's see.

If I am a private person, then I should at least be taught, treated and protected from any threats. It's all clear. Give uncle a coin, and we will do you a favor. The service is certainly not so hot, but what to do - we will assume that everything is fair.

If I am a timber industry business, then it is understandable here. Uncle cuts the state forest, so, firstly, I have to share, secondly - to plant new trees. It is quite reasonable.

We go further. If i'm chemical prom, then, the stump is clear that I need to merge all sorts of rubbish, somehow dispose of it, bury it somewhere, etc. Through my activities I harm the environment and the surrounding dudes. So it is quite reasonable if I share with the state, and the state buys iodine at the polyclinic for drinking and will finance a science that will invent something to reduce emissions. Is it logical Full

So, the most interesting. If I am a travel agency, or design studio, or notary office - then for what? I do not consume public resources, do not do emissions of rubbish ...

For protection? So I already paid for it, as a private trader. Or in the office of me and my staff need to somehow protect separately?

For the land? So I pay rent, and already the landlord pays for the land. For electricity, for the phone - for everything already paid.

For people? So, I pay them a salary ... And to you, the state, with what fright should I pay?
It turns out that you only have to pay for the fact that my overseer also needs to eat? For not lashing pain on the back with a whip? For deigning me, the poor, to allow me to do something?

No, well, I really do not understand. Well, explain to me what kind of a product or service I consume from the state (any state), that I am obliged to bash him separately, for each hair cut in my barber shop?

Dudes in jackets with badges! Give, for the sake of decency, at least something real for the money, eh?
