Why Do We Pay Taxes?

By Leslie Harper

Paying taxes is an important part of keeping cities, states, and the country running. Readers will learn about the different things taxes pay for such as schools, police, and roads. They'll learn why taxes are the way we pay for these and many other things. Each chapter answers a different question about the purpose for taxes or how they function. By the final chapter, readers will understand that everyone's contributions add up to the things they see and use every day.
