[QUOTE="klein, post: 891194, member: 23950"] Gee, it's been 20 years since we have the GST here, and today, I even failed.... Went to Safeway to pick up my $500 watch I won, and also bought a Deli entree (pre packaged - just needs to be heated up in the microwave). Was $4.99, so took a $5.00 bill out of my pocket, plus another 3 pennys to make up the tax.... I was fooled, no tax - since that item is not a "ready to eat" item. So, just had to pay $4.99 - no tax. Now, if that would have been a left-over grilled BBQ chicken, late in the evening, and would have been cold by now, and needed to be re-heated, I still would have paid the 5% tax. That's how complicated it gets here. But your Herman Cain has that all figured out : Tax everything, food included, cold, hot, raw veggies, no matter what - tax it all ! [/QUOTE]
