According to the Sun Times, the Fraser Institute says that the average Canadian family is paying 43.1% of its annual income as taxes which go to support the government.
In fact taxes are our share of the cost of goods and services that we all need. As people realize that it is only fair to share more costs and address more social inequities, our taxes will go up.
Those of us who, through hard work and/or good luck, have amassed our little pot of gold and don’t want to share it should consider that as the price of being a Canadian.
As was said in WWI, “Well if you knows of a better 'ole, go to it.”
