its ot land for iraq, war and politics.
I wish thermo would come back and post some stuff. Enjoyed his links but not his barbs
Here we pay 26% income tax, plus a percentage towards Pension and UI.
Sales tax is 15% on everything except for unprepaired food. ( 7% goods and service tax, 8% provinical )
Even taxes are taxed.
Some times it bugs me when time are tight. But I do not want to lose the standard of living i am used to. And I do not want others to lose that standard as well. So I pay the taxes and just complain about it once or twice a week.
I would perfer if it was spent properly. As it looks like a good 30 to 40% is just wasted ( nooah stats numbers out of a hat, please i hope i made that up cause it sounds cool ) on commisions, digging holes in toronto and then filling them back in.
I will be interesting to see how our economy goes in the next few years. As we have not been hit by the recessions that hit the USA. ( THough our bosses at work like to tell us were in a recession, we ask for the proof and they state that it is in the news... So we now carry the figures for the Canadain Economy and pull it out at meetings ... Were not liked too much by the flying circus ... but i go off on a tangent )
End this now before I actually post something that makes sence. I do not want to scare GEO.
