Why Should I Pay Taxes?

I was just thinking on a similar line, “Why Should I Pay Taxes?” the other day and here comes the post from an old friend letting his thoughts on the same road as traveled by mine.
The CVC Report projects the height of corruption that has infiltrated the country. The Indian Army, which is the most trusted part, is all infected by this growing plaque. CVC Report shows Millions of dollars drained into the corrupt minister’s pocket. If this is the way government has decided to utilize My Money then Why Should I Pay Taxes?
Few days before I was reading that Arjun Munda ministry ordered about 20 bullet proof Tata Safari’s for their officials, which cost to Crores of Rupees. The amount which could have been utilized to build about 140 houses under Indira Vikash Yojna. The poor are now devoid of their houses because the money was spent in catering to the luxury of the corrupt ministers. No sooner did these ministers came into power, they got their house renovated. If this is the way government has decided to utilize My Money then Why Should I Pay Taxes?
