Ignatieff, in Montreal for consultations with union and business leaders, wants the budget to target tax cuts towards Canada's lowest income earners instead of across-the-board reductions.
All righty then, how much do us taxpayers pay to JUST the federal government in taxes?
YIKES!!! 47% of federal government revenues are from us, and Iggy doesn't want us to get a tax break?? How about those corporations like GM who want taxpayer bailouts?? How much do they contribute to federal revenues?
That can't be right, only 16%? Now remember, this is only federal revenues, not provincial or municipal. Also remember that there is only ONE taxpayer, us. You know those 16% taxes the businesses pay, think about it, they only pay taxes if they are profitable, and we make them profitable with our after tax money! That's right, you paid that 16% in business taxes to the federal government, meaning we are already up to 63% of all federal taxes paid. At least we get some sort of good or service from the businesses with our money, what does the government produce that we can buy? That's the problem, we have no say how they spend our money, except with our vote. The coalition wants to take that one small "right" we have away from us.
Now, add in your provincial and municipal taxes and maybe you can start to understand why you deserve a tax break. Add in all those fees, licenses and charges, plus don't forget the GST, and your pocketbook has been picked, by the biggest criminals of all, government.
Iggy needs to get out more, not with the latte sipping Toronto elites, but with the average taxpayer, who contributes more than their fair share toward this country.
We, the taxpayer, are the ones who need some relief, or we won't be buying from those businesses, and government revenues will decrease from both personal and business taxes. Never hit Liberals with facts though, they can't handle the truth.
