We're given the ability to pay taxes. =D

 

~EW~

So I guess the government should be giving back to the community.

 

Does that really qualify since you're not giving back to anyone? Rather a portion of your money that you worked for is taken from you. By working to earn the money, the company is giving back to you.

xD Yes.

 

On a more serious note, the community government does indeed give something to the citizens. Take, for an example, the Chamber of Commerce, which helps people with businesses (which in turn give supplies to the people), or the community police department, which (supposedly) provides security. City Hall serves as a meeting point for municipal and government business alike, and the community parks system is a place where anyone can sit or play frisbee, and both are run by community system.

 

While the phrase "giving back to the community" is something of a misnomer, since we are the community and that phrase literally translates as "giving back to ourselves," the intent behind the phrase is not a farce. Town government does actually do things to help us, and it would only be right for some of us to help out (as if taxes were not enough xD). Besides, helping out and giving service is more a moral statement than a payment.

This is like someone saying "Would you like some more apple sauce?" and you saying "No, that would be impossible, I never had any to begin with!"

 

Amusing to those who think this way and humorously annoying to those who don't.
