Islamic Tax

We should give tax
To make the government capable
Of performing its duties properly

Tax is for the welfare of the nation
And it is a way to reduce the gap
Between the haves and the have-nots

Tax should not be a burden for the people
And it should be imposed in such a manner
So that the masses are benefited from it

Tax is another way to go to paradise
And the countrymen should be aware of it
So that the government is not deprived
Of revenue that it deserves

The socialist dilemma remains. Power corrupts and money is the opiate that feeds that craving. You give your money to power hungry politicians and much of it is wasted on corruption, special interests (not national interest), and self preservation. Give your money to charities that are efficient and trustworthy not the goovernment.
