In response to flat rate income tax I give a hearty "Here, here!".

I say everyone, every company across the board pay a flat rate of say 20% or
maybe 15% tax and divide up another 5% between UIC, OHIP, etc.

The only problem I see is that charities would then become what they are
supposed to be (i.e. NON-PROFIT). The public aux general is not as altruistic
as the present tax structure would have us believe. One could say then that
an individual or company could then deduct up to, lets say, 5% for charity
(that is to say 20% income tax becomes 15% income tax because 5% is charity)
but that was how all this mess started in the first place, the government
trying to make us do something that we really don't want to.

H**ls Bells, I would like to see a bit of a backbone in the government
for once and let us manage on our own for awhile. These parliaments
remind me an awful lot of my mother, telling me what is right and good for
me. I'm about to turn 27, I've been married for over 2 years, I'm about
to graduate and I own my own home yet my mother still tells me that I'm
not old enough to know weither or not I'm trully in love with my wife ( she
wants me to get a divorce ) she thinks that I don't know what I really want
to do in life as a vocation and she does and thinks that I don't know to
handle money despite the fact that I do own a home and I've never had a full
time job in my life. Sorry for the little dialogue-diarrhea but isn't that
how you feel about the government, always on your back about something when
you would like them just to leave you alone so that you can get on with
living?

Please send all flames or letters of support to the "Elect MAB for prime
minister campaigne".
