Why We Have Taxes – The Town That Had No Policeman (1970)
The story illustrates how a town without a policeman faced issues with a thief. The townspeople realized they needed a full-time policeman to ensure safety. They agreed to contribute a small portion of their earnings as taxes to pay for the policeman’s salary. This collaborative effort allowed them to hire Alexander, who successfully caught the thief, highlighting the importance of taxes in funding essential services like law enforcement.
