[QUOTE="klein, post: 904011, member: 23950"] Don't know why many of you still believe we can easily live off government, because I certainly don't and can't. I don't get a penny from the government. I live off my savings and some occasional work I do, that's all. I pay more taxes just living here off my savings than I would living in the US. I still need to pay VAT (GST) taxes, higher gasoline taxes (then in the US), property taxes of $2400 anually. GST is even added to the cost of heating my home, so is the electricity and cable/internet & phone. I'm not even free of paying income taxes, because the savings I take out are being taxed. And if I did want welfare, then I would need to work for it at a city or government owned or sponsored facility (like waste management, recycle, etc), for mimimum wages (currently in Alberta $9.40/hr). So, there ya go - clarafied that for ya ! [/QUOTE]
