Agree or Disagree with taxation?

Yes I agree with the taxation. I agree because there people in the

U.S that don’t have a job or money to survive.

If people in the U.S give part of their money it will make it easier for the country to support those people who don’t have any money.

If the government helps those people the country will have a better life.
