Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: Canada's Income Tax Code Canada's CRA is a very huge and secretive government bureaucracy. At least we know the size of the federal U.S. Income Tax Act. The media, at least Fox News, has said that it is an obscene 75,000 pages in length and it is expanding like a mushroom cloud, that never goes away. No one can figure it out, not even the current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who in using Turbo Tax came up short, and became delinguent in paying the IRS what it said Geithner owed it. Canada's federal income tax act must be just as bad, or worse. However, in searching the Internet I could not find any references to its size. What a f**king mess of a country Canada is. I recall way back in the late 1970's or early 1980s Canada's Minister of Finance under Trudeau, Donald Johnson's, saying that he had tax lawyers prepare his return because he did not understand the Act. Johnson, of course, as Minister of Finance was a lawyer himself, so if he couldn't figure the f**king monstrosity out something is very wrong with our government bureaucracy. So why isn't Stephen Harper preparing legislation for a flat tax? We already have a fair tax.That is the 13% HST on goods and services. We are being taxed to death. Why isn't Harper and his Red Tories doing some heavy tax cutting and curtailing spending? He could start by cutting his bloated civil service bureaucracy in half, abolish the CBC, cut the membership of MPs and senators by about two- thirds, end equalization payments, end official bilingualism which is ridiculous for a nation with only 1/4 of the population speaking French. Harper and his entourage could also stop attending all these f**king, useless G-20 meetings which keep getting more and more lavish on other people's money. Harper's Red Tories are deplorable, but the liberals, NDP and Greens are worse. As Republican, laissez-faire Calvin Coolige, America's president during the booming 1920s, arguably the best decade in U.S. stated, "The best government is the one that governs least" and that the "business of government is business".

Or fraud you, you can contribute to RRSP but wait, they claw it back on pension adjustments. A ruse really. Tax on tax on tax..... A $200 1 hour dental hygienist, 1/2 for building, maintenance, taxes, licenses and mreo taxes. $50 for taxes and $50 for other services tat also pay taxes. $40 for the dentist and receptionist, $20 more in taxes. Hygienist has taxes and license issues.... Yep, a 1 hour session in the chair, $200 with down stream taxes factored in is $120 in taxes and $25 net to the hygienist. You pay $200, hygienist only nets $25 and dentist only nets $20 after all taxes, landlord get $15 and taxes and levies form all sources and into their products. Yep, we have a degenerate tax system. $200 bucks for $60 of service tax for the balance. No wonder it is cheaper outside of the J CU PIIIGGGS in Debt debt-tax slave countries.

The tax codes in both countries started out a lot shorter and simpler .... and then the pressure groups and the moneyed interests got into the act and ordered up loopholes, exceptions, and so forth. If the entire tax code had been rewritten start to finish these additions would not take up as much space as they do when they're patched onto the existing tax code. One benefit of a flat tax is that - while the rate on the richest would seem to be lower than currently, a lot of their loopholes would vanish, so they would end up paying a bit more in money than they are actually paying now with those loopholes. The simplicity of the flat tax is supposed to be attractive enough that they won't go to convoluted lengths to try to avoid the tax.
