The gov is taking almost half our wages, and not a small part of that is going to idiotic extravagances and wasteful bureaucracies, and you think we have it good? That's like saying I got a smoking deal on a 2015 civic for $150,000, just because the guy down the road paid $185,000.
We have it good compared to a lot of people I'll grant you that, but when it comes to taxes we are getting raped and are not getting good value for our money. You're just accustomed to it. We've become the proverbial frogs in the pot when it comes to taxes. It would have been interesting to see the gov try and implement all the taxes we currently pay all at once in say 1905.
When a provincial government calls selling their FLEET of planes "austerity", it's time for significant government shrinkage.
Pave the roads, treat the sewage, arrest the criminals. Focus. Focus. Focus.
