[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1002885, member: 4362"] Its seems its everywher I turn these days. What infuriates me after the paper reduction act they are no longer sending paper notices of what I owe for whatever permit this might be but are sending it through e-mail. In my e-mail I have so much trash this gets lost then I get fined for the fee being paid late. I had a friend drop by from Ontario yesterday and he was limping badly and was in need a hip replacement. I gave him some rheumatism medicine and we got to shooting the breeze and I mentioned it was a good thing he was Canadian because he would get the new hip and a new knee for free. He said it all worked out in the long run though cause he has to pay 30% in income tax and 13% in sales tax for whatever he buys. 30%?!?! Heck, to put a $1000 in my pocket I have to net $1400 so I'm paying 40%. Then I have to pay 7% sales tax which as I see it puts me at 47% tax rate. Then there is my medical insurance cost. $1000/month - $12,000/year which easily put me over 50% versus the 43% he is paying and he actually gets something for his money whereas I only get the warm feeling of knowing I have given some lucky fella a free cell phone - and now laptops. :bang: Then there is the accountant's fee which will be several thousand more dollars for sorting through all the tangled mess we call a tax code and - if I understood him correctly - in Canada you don't have to pay taxes on your retirement savings. After talking to him, I went and renewed my passport and am thinking that maybe Canada's weather isn't that bad afterall. Heck, throwing snowballs at Hillsdown's cows might even be fun. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
