Answer 2

You don't have to pay taxes.

But if you don't, then they might eventually take them away from you (with extra as a "penalty"). So, the real question is: "why do they take money that you have earned from you by force, then justify it with the term 'taxes'."

The answer is that society still runs based on violence, fear of punishment, and force. It need not always be this way, but that is how it currently is.

The money you earn isn't yours: you are a slave.

There are great scenes in a 1999 movie called Instinct, where this guy finds freedom in the African jungle, then helps show another guy that his illusion of freedom is an illusion... great stuff!

My Economics teacher says taxes are collected by progressive system so that it does not harm the people with lower incomes

Regressive tax:::
A regressive tax may at first appear to be a fair way of taxing citizens because everyone, regardless of income level, pays the same dollar amount. By taking a closer look, it is easy to see that such a tax causes lower-income people to pay a larger share of their income than wealthier people pay. Though true regressive taxes are not used as income taxes, they are used as taxes on tobacco, alcohol, gasoline, jewelry, perfume, and travel.
