Tax rise. How much?

[Flatlander]

Canada is still a relatively young country and aside from WW 1 and 2 spending then bigger sooial spending increases in 60's we have been slow at adding government largesse. UK has a VAT of 20%. See what happens when you are in the game of government long enough? I can think of more socialist governments than the UK. In the long run taxes go up. We all like the pork I guess. Sickening though.

Tweety,

Since many taxes are incorporated into our input costs and are 'non-refundable'... how much profit a farmer actually earns is totally outside yet dependant upon the top loaded tax rates we must pay.

EG: Farm Fuel taxes... are non-refundable.

GST is a part of the cost of living for many workers... therefore we need to pay more for/to our farm workers to have a decent standard of living.

Same cost goes on top[is non-refundable] with the labour compontents of the inputs used to grow and produce our Ag/Food products. Equipment Repairs and Capital Cost integrates these non-refundable tax loads.

If all food export producing countries had VAT/GST/PST in place... and a level tax burden cost to Ag and Food products we would then have a competitive base to work from. As it stands now... we are far from this standard.

And some of those high tax areas are rated highly as places to live....who would have thunk!

And Hammy....I agree with you on this one....
Still think we are totally shafted by paying interest rates to banks who get their money from Bank of Canada...haven't heard anything more on the COMER action lately...

For the third time already.... when is tax freedom day? If you want to move it closer to the end of the year than the beginning I have to question your sanity. I over the long run I have never received more in "farm subsidies" than incometax paid. I can tell you this, I've generated/created more wealth for this nation than I cost it, more than I can say for alot of people. ....

An Arizona couple, both well into their 80's, go to a Sex Therapist's office.

The doctor asks, 'What can I do for you?'

The man says, 'Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?'

The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.

When the couple finishes, the doctor says, 'There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.

He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says good bye.

The next week, the same couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again.

The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.

This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leave.

Finally, after 3 months of this routine, the doctor says, 'I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?'

The man says, 'We're not trying to find out anything. She's married; so we can't go to her house. I'm married; and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $98. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50, and best of all.

Medicare pays $43 of it.

Reply to Agchats original question: All we really need to do is look at every "RESERVE" in our fair country , and we will see where some of the extra money to help run our country is. This is not rocket science is it? Aren't people in this country tired of the scenario where 25% of the people are paying 100% of the bills? Of course nobody in our governments want tackle that issue because it will piss of the voters on those reserves now won't it?

That money is recycled in a short cycle. No harm in that... protests are minimal...
