  13. Taxes- To Pay or Not to Pay Student Response You hear about taxes all the time. My dad says he has to pay too much. I don’t think you should have to pay taxes if you don’t use them. We use teachers but not police or fire fighters. We use the roads but not a lot and we don’t tear them up. It would be more fair for the people who use the services to pay for them with taxes. I used Power Point because it is easy to use and move pictures around. Word makes moving pictures hard.
