Deadly
Taxes
A
visit to the gas pump today, again reminded me of how brutally the
Canadian public is getting screwed. As on schedule, the gas companies
shot the prices up just before a long weekend. If any in this country
we live in, feel that what we are getting shafted by is acceptable,
then they are not just sheep; they are STUPID sheep. We produce more
than enough crude in this country to provide a reasonable price per
litre and stimulate our economy back, so there isn’t the
manipulated sense of financial security. Right after I pay and
prepare to fuel my vehicle, I feel that bending over to let the oil
company and government taxes finish the job, is almost mandatory.
Although
this is my beef to start, it isn’t my only thought of the day. It
comes to mind that, we the people
are the ones that vote for leadership in all areas of government,
from municipal to federal and yet we have virtually no say as to
which cattle prod they use on us. Coming from my background, I know
exactly what goes on
behind our backs. A small
example is the mayor of Toronto.
When
we pay more for fuel, the chain reaction affects everything in our
lives that is transported; which is everything. We don’t have extra
in our paycheck to do fun things, or even support our children in a
manner comparable to our employment. There used to be a middle class
of wage earners, but now if your household earns under 80,000 dollars
a year you are in the poor end of the spectrum. It is poor or very
rich with no buffer between. From a business stand point we are being
bankrupted.
Looking
from a government standpoint, they present us with taxes to support
the infrastructure we need to survive in today’s world. This is a
reasonable understanding, but when the taxes exceed the income by
ludicrous amounts, it means the infrastructure is supporting pockets
that don’t feel putting food on the family table is important.
The
Lottery was brought in originally to help take some burden off the
tax payer to support essential services and reduce debt. If a jackpot
can exceed 40 million, there has to be a gigantic intake of funds,
but I don’t see any REAL
funds making changes, ANYWHERE!
So
let’s take into account; fuel tax, lottery, income tax, provincial
tax, federal tax, land tax, water tax, environment tax, and on and on
and on and on, we should have an infrastructure that would be the
envy of the world. OH!!! There is a tax that is rather humorous; it
is the death tax. Apparently when you die, someone from Revenue
Canada crawls into your coffin demanding to get paid for letting you
die.
Some
years ago New Zealand was on the brink of bankruptcy. They came up
with a solution and in just two years restored a good economy. They
levied a 10 percent tax and made radical changes in the money base in
a business structured arrangement. The structure is too simple for
our government to understand so I won’t overwhelm them with the
details, and it would
impede their spending habits.
I
would write more but there is word out that our government is
considering taxing us for using our computers, and besides I feel
very emotionally taxed right now.
In
closing I have no ill feelings for the oil companies that are killing
our economy or our government that is choking us to death; and
beyond. I am but a sheep following the idiot with the label of
leadership.
Please...
