Re: Why do we pay tax when out of area????

Exactly what benefit do we see from the taxes we pay when on Ops
You get paid every month! Thats a pretty good benefit.

But apart from that what have Taxes every done for us?

Well, most of it goes on Education. That means that we can send a kid to school who will grow up and want to join the military and fly with you.

Taxes are spent on transport so that the kids can get to school. If the little lad falls ill he will be able to get free health care. He lives in a society which is (relatively) safe and benefits from law and order. His taxes help pay for the environment as well as providing a little cultur to his life. But most importantly of all, Little Johnny can sleep safe and well in his bed at night knowing full well that he is being protected from aggression by a band of professional and competant brothers who will lay their lives on the line to ensure he remains free and safe. Thats what taxes do.
