Probably not originally a scam but something about Tax, maybe it's just me but taxes are suppose for the betterment of society. Everyone suppose to pay their fair share of tax yet it's strange that we can't even see how are taxes were used to improve society. There is no breakdown like a receipt on how our tax was used. While we file taxes we have to be meticulus or we get ourselves in trouble.

You’re free to look into the publicly available budgets of governments you pay taxes toward and see a breakdown of where every dollar you spend in taxes goes by doing some simple math. Some countries will even do this work for you and send you a breakdown of where your money went. IIRC Australia does this. But even without that you can easily figure it out yourself.
Taxes go to “the betterment of society” in many ways. They pay for all kinds of shit. Don’t be silly.

Doubt it's that simple as asking for those kind of information are usually behind red tapes and some are even confidential. Most people are not motivated enough to do that.

That's interesting was not aware of that. Only if my country does that.

Yeah agree they do I guess the way they are like blackbox makes a huge disconnect to those who are paying.
In Australia when you pay your land rates it tells you where your money goes. Information about where your income tax goes is available online. Your country is no doubt the same, you just haven't looked.
I've heard the IRS can actually send this information to you if you ask. I can't find much about it online though. I do think it should be standard to help people understand where their money is going though.
