Canadian Election
He told me that he left Canada because he was paying through the you know what in taxes, yet some of his family members actual net income was higher than his because they had "lower paying" jobs. He couldn't stand it anymore, and moved south. He also said that the US is on the way of being just as bad, and he can't believe we're letting it happen.
Toronto in undergoing fairly massive reform under the new mayor. His election slogan was "stop the gravy train" and is working on things like fully privatized garbage collection. I'm not a resident (my grandmother is) and don't know how it's going but I understood they had curbside pickup 3 times a week.
Any Torontonians want to chime in on this?

yep, you are only taxed more on the amount you make in that tax bracket.
if you make 155K, you are taxed 23% on 150K and 33% on 5K...whatever the rate actually is.
either way it's 99% too much.

Nevermind the taxes that the fed, state, county, and local governments levy that people aren't commonly aware of. I don't know how Canada is structured, but I'm sure they are similar to the US in general. I know in the US, once I add up the taxes I pay, it adds up to more than 50% of my income.

What I'm concerned about is the pendulum swing going from the far left that we've got right now, to the far right (fascism). If things deteriorate much further, I wouldn't be surprised if another savior in the reincarnated form of Hitler were to appear. It never stabilizes in the center. Doesn't make the power brokers any money.

I was speaking "off the record" with a hiring manager at a very large govt contractor (they make fighter jets) and he told me that even though I was a good fit for many of their job openings, and irrespective of education or work history, I'd probably never get hired, explaining, "You're too white and too male. We have plenty of you around already, and we're under a government magnifying glass to ensure equal opportunity for all." < his exact words. I laughed.
So what is your number? How much total tax would you be willing to pay for a minimal level of service from the govt?

I voted NDP just because I didn't want Nina Grewal to win in my riding. What a useless c*nt. She has done absolutely nothing in her time in Parliament. Her son was supposed to run, but got a DUI so her husband (who also is a member of Parliament) decided to throw her in his place.

No VAT, but yes... when you add up everything you pay it's gets ridiculous. We just had "HST" implemented here in BC. We used to have GST and PST which equaled %12 on some items, but others only had GST. So now food, gas, and a bunch of other things that used to be only %7 are now %12.
We also had a carbon tax implemented in 08.
