I must disagree with you! The biggest problem we have with our.... Health Unemployment Roads Compensation systems ...... is that, taxes are collected for these systems, some of them, the tax is put in a fund to pay for it, BUT as soon as there is TOO MUCH in that fund, it goes into the GENERAL FUND, and before you know it, it all goes directly to the general fund, the people who look after the general fund use it like a disfuncional family with dads pay cheque. Slowly there isn't enough TAXES comming in to to pay all the NEW BILLS and the social expenditures. So they raise taxs on the premise that there is not enough money for the social expenditures. We have a tire tax that's was to pay for the roads, it goes straight in the general fund and they don't enough money to fix the tire size pot holes all over Ontario. What they don't think of is, it's TAX money not theirs, our Governer General spent close to $40+ mil. last year, and that's just one of our disfuncional family. They should just take 80-90% of our income and save a lot of wasted expence collecting it by bucking us into the poor house. Think of the big corporations that don't want to pay taxes, where do we get the money from, to pay income tax and all the hidden taxes (higher wages). I think it still comes down to GREED with a pinch of stupidity. Just look at the difference in the cost of drugs between Canada and the USA, the drug companies wants Canada to increase the cost here to stop USA cross border drug shopping. It saves your seniors 40 - 100%. The drug companies say our drugs might not be safe, and there made by the same companies as yours go figure. We have different rules on drug pricing, but I'll bet they will be changed so OUR DRUG costs will = yours in a few years.
