Huh - how about that...
Obama and congress mad-off with my money....
You must be very angry.
If you are not, I am sure if you send a cheque to GM for $1500 or
so they will cash it.
I'm sure you can't actually be seriously making that argument!
I thought it might be a good investment to send Canuck the 1500 so he
can go get his head examined but that'd be a waste. He's got access
to free health care.
Free? You are freaking kidding. Government has justified steady tax
increases for 40 years on the health care theme. Giving Canada the
highest taxed juristicions in North America! Don't trust my word for
it. Plug your numbers into this and find out:

Or, go to the Canadian government tax site and download a T4 Tax
forms, they are only 4 pages as we can't deduct much. No need to
calculate interest on the mortage here. Keep in mind if you use the
T4 method it does not include the hidden taxes of GST, PST, HST, room
taxes, restaurant taxes, utility taxes and
booze/cig/gas/electric/heat/import and taxes you never heard of. If
you take your wife out for a meal, some provinces are 25% tax and
that is before the tip.

And after you look at the numbers know that health care in Canada is
rationed, and bed shortages all over. They don't have to compete.
One service provider and no alternatives. If you work and pay taxes
you get better service because they will ask that question when
getting regional health care authority to schedule you. Managed like
sheep. Get sick, don't produce for the government they will put you
on a rediculasly long waiting list.

Americans should riot over this issue, this is a government ploy for
more revenue and herd management of the American people. 90% of you
will have lower health care service levels, for the 10% of
freeloaders and government skiming.


What province charges 25% tax?
Nova Scotia is 13% HST (combined GST & PST) and that's bad enough.

Lets start with BC. Hotel/motel is GST+PST+Hotel tax, compounded. 5% +
8% + 8% = 24.4% compounded. Pretty much like that in all provinces
except Alberta where PST does not exists. If you hear the term HST, it
is really GST+PST. Check in at a dump for $100, get the bill for $125
or more because even bottled water is extra, $3 + 15%.

Nova Scotia is an island, Your first tax will be getting there. I see
they lowered HST to 13% passing on the 1 and later 2% reduction in the
federal rate. It used to be 15%. On your next visit, check the prices
at the liquer store. Beer at $8 for 12 in Milwaukee is $32 for 12 in NS.

Not entirely accurate as some cities are getting into it and it misses
to restaurant and hotel stuff but Wiki has the pure sales tax on line at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_Canada

Now just in sales taxes, compare say Montana with 0. So 15% for all
things not basic raw core groceries. It is on cleaner, toilet paper,
finished foods like donuts; pretty hard to beat.

Add 15% of your after income tax over a lifetime...you can see the
wealth draw. Know that income tax and utility taxes are like this too.

Because at the end of the day, government wants your money.

Damn, so that is where all of my money goes to. I thought it was my
son drinking all of my beer and burning up my gas.
