[QUOTE="klein, post: 573764, member: 23950"] [b]Re: Obamanation here today[/b] Wow, wow , wow ! Where to start ? 5% Gst tax. Yes, we go to the store, and need to pay 5% extra on tax (IN Alberta). we don't have a provincial sales tax. 5% only on items that are not food related. (Groceries = no tax). Meals in a restaurant is taxed (it's a service). Have a paycheck infront of me: $941.76 gross pay = $720.03 net pay Unemployment insurance was $16.29 Canada Pension Plan $ 43.29 Tax: $162.15 Where do you get 50% from ? And oddly enough, check out any site you wish on the net. Canada has a higher standard of living then America ! Obviosly, we don't pay 50% taxes on each paycheck !And other 15% spending the rest. Besides, if that was the case, Canadians would be flocking across the boarder, like Mexicans do from the south. That is not an issue. Maybe the odd few, but thats it. And it's for different reasons, then to earn good money. [/QUOTE]
