To have a total effective income tax rate of 34% in Alberta you would have to be making taxable income of around $210,000 per year so either I don't believe you or I don't feel sorry for you.

Most likely you're confusing your top marginal rate with your overall effective tax rate.....common mistake

I can do math, it isn't hard I stand by my calculations, Average tax rate 33.55 %
Marginal tax rate 43.00 % from your own handy little web site. As I said, that is just income tax, not including CPP et al or property tax. I am not asking you to feel sorry for me am i? But perhaps I should since I pay 2.7 times more tax than the average Canadian, yet I sure don't use 2.7 times the services do i?

I am merely pointing out that taxes have gone up by no less than 7% in Alberta, and after adding all the other deductions it stands around 37% of total income.
Again, I point out that 37% is much closer to 40% than 20% as suggested in the 'rebuttal' page is claiming.

yeah that's right, highlight someone who has served his nation and then berate them for doing so claiming I lived on the dime of the taxpayer. I guess then that would be true for anyone who is employed by any government agency or receives government funding. Furthermore, claiming I have taken far more 'cheese' than someone on welfare is really quite insulting. You must think that way of the police, and fire fighters as well. I wish I could live in your world where you receive all these services and then criticize the people who provide them claiming they are worse than someone on social assistance.

Class act right there. If that's the best you can do, then that's the best you can do.

Million dollar homes AND claiming welfare? Sounds unlikely. I think you're getting your immigrant rage stories mixed up

All those disgusting seniors deferring their taxes!

Nice dodge. Now you're abandoning the subject and want to instead shift the topic to politically correct speech for public employees.

I didn't say you were "worse" because I don't believe people who receive social assistance or public servants are bad in the first place.


But don't you see the hypocrisy of someone who is the wealthiest 2% of society, and who received a good portion of their wealth directly from taxpayers, complaining about their taxes? I bet the long list of government cuts you want in order to lower your taxes don't include reducing the salary you used to earn right?

I would rather see my taxes go to veterans who have served their nation instead of paying off a convicted Terrorist.

where did I ever say I received a good portion of my 'wealth' from the taxpayers? I may have to inform you I have been out of the RCAF for almost 20 years and I can assure you at IPC3 Captain, I sure didn't get rich in the CF! But that doesn't stop you from jumping to conclusions now does it?

Infrastructure and defence is where Canadians expect their tax money to go. If government is spending money fixing roads or protecting the north good for them.

But like you suggest - who elected Justine to offer up his cash for jihadis program? It wasn't just Khadr and his juicy 10 million for terrorist murder. 25 mill to UNRWA is the same as putting it in the pocket of Hamas.

Even if we choose to ignore Justin's thank you to the extremist mosques of an Islamic brotherhood for it's election support, there's 650 million to promote abortion in Africa and elsewhere.

Or what about all those millions Justin promised the CBC during the campaign. Apparently some can't figure out why he would make that offer during an election campaign.

Then there's the possible billions that will eventually be directed towards some imagined world catastrophe of nice weather the globalists' prophets tell us to expect in a hundred years...maybe two *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*.

380 million in additional funding for the prog vomit the government calls art.

Then there's all the nit-picking hundred thousand here, a million there on social justice flim flam.

Or even, how about a half million to supposedly move some Canada Revenue agent 192km from Richmond Hill to Belleville, Ontario.

But no, pay no attention to what's going on behind those curtains. There's snow removal on the Trans Canada.

Well...I guess, thanks for also finding the time to do your actual job, Liberal government.
