Sad but good post.

Great post Don.

Here's the most telling paragraph in the first news story:

The average Canadian family pays about 48 percent of its income in taxes each year, partly to fund the health care system. Rates vary from province to province, but Ontario, the most populous, spends roughly 40 percent of every tax dollar on health care, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

This is where the Dimocrats WILL take this country. In Canada's most populous area you work close to 6 months of the year for the government. Their government spends 40 cents of each tax dollar on their rationed health care system.

Take a minute and think about that. Those are some of the most discouraging statistics I've ever seen.

Dag gone...ya'll think back to when you first started out from High School...think about how hard it was getting ahead (and it still is for lots of us)...but most especially so for younger folk since they have no real skills or experience...Can you imagine going back in time and the government taking practically 50% of everything you make? With this kind of percentage how does one go about obtaining things such as a piece of land, or at least a small 900 square foot, two or three bedroom home with a single bath? Tell me how a person can do this when the government rakes in dang near 50% off the top?

Oh man it's a perfect plan for them...they will provide you with a tax credit or subsidy to keep you hooked into the system.

Want a new car.... Cash for clunkers! Want a new House..$10k tax credit! That way they can dictate how equal we will all be.
Want to save money for your retirement....50% tax when you take it out to use it!
