Yeah. It's how we spend on keeping Canadians healthy and happy like every other happy country does. Keep up.
And TEN IS LESS THAN THIRTY like it was in the Good Old days we seemed to survive before, in those years when we built things like bridges and railways (those are the rotting, unmaintained things we non-helicopter-owning wage-slaves use) like Sweden and Denmark do to this day.
TAX AND SPEND. Keep up. It's a whole thing.
Unless you mean on Miquelon or Greenland, you must be talking about the border to that user-pays, fuck-the-plebes, birth-slavery, medical-bankruptcy hell to our south.
Having lived there, I fervently hope you aren't holding that nearly-fascist mess as a goal. Alberta is cruel enough for us; let's not go full American.
I got the point: like every Calgary commercial realtor I've ever met, you're concerned with taxes you must pay - dramatic swoon - and not really aware how tax money makes things not suck like it does in America as I've seen with my own fucking eyes.
Keep. Up.
lol. I was an NDP voter for years. Singh ended that federally.
I love when people defend corps when we talk about increasing taxes for them for once instead of cutting them again and wondering why it's not working.
The conservative like to talk about the good old days, but when we point out that the taxes were higher, bootlickers come out of the woodwork to explain why taxing the rich more is bad for the economy.
We've been cutting taxes for the rich since the 60s, and everything is getting fucked over. At one point, you gotta get your head out of your ass and see the reality.
Big corpos and rich people game the system at every corner, and people still defend them.
You won't be rich, and they won't save you when the earth is scorched.
Tax the fuck out of them, and if they leave, someone will take their place.
Is there a point any of you have ever not missed?
