A - because governments need the money to provide citizens with services.

At the state/local level taxes are used to fund schools, pay for roads and infrastructure, trash collection/recycling and things of that nature.

In Texas, the two main types of taxes are sales and property. It is important that citizens pay their taxes because taxes are used to pay for public services and programs, including public education, public safety, utilities, community maintenance, and health services. Failure to pay taxes can result in fines or criminal charges.
