I used to live in Saudi Arabia before and there was no GST or PST. But then i moved to Canada and then there was this whole deal with Taxes and stuff. My home country India had taxes too. So why do countries have taxes in the first place? And why do some have it and some don't?? THNX A LOT FOR THE ANSWER.. Not all people there are rich....It depends which place you look at..The area where I lived was an average area. There are places where there is barely water to drink and the poverty is very high....The people who are rich are in high up positions and they live in the very rich areas..Those are the areas that they show on TV.

Countries have taxes to pay for roads & all the things we share together. We pitch in. In Saudia Arabia where do they get the money for libraries for example. Are all the people rich there? I guess if everyone were rich we could just buy everything instead of using the library. I know there are many countries where all the people are rich. I remember seeing them on TV & wondering at the time why the USA people thought we were the richest country. It is not true. I know our money disappeared when Bush was in office & I thing Iraq has about trillion dollars in surplus. I think paying taxes keeps our poorest people able to have a fair share of things so they can function & get to work to be used by the richer. So we have roads paid for my taxes or the rich people wouldn't be able to get the workers out to their house.

Cause Saudi Arabia has most of the worlds oil. Who needs tax money when oil is generating more money in a day than their GST or PST could generate in a year?
