Top 10% of Canadians pay either 47.1% (Fraser Institute) or 54% (Financial Post) of the taxes .... think about that.
Why the fuck should I pay 53.5% in taxes of what I make over $222,420. So I should keep less than 50% of each additional dollar. This is before GST and PST.
So those who make their wealth in Canada has already paid MORE than their fair share of taxes.
And regarding taking advantage of the Canadian medical system .... how do you think it is funded?
Yes I am in the top 10%.
If the top 10% could control the tax laws we sure as hell would not want to pay more than 50% in taxes.
I resist posting here but guys like 80watts can go fuck themselves with their lack of knowledge.
Sounds more like you are entittled..... "I pay more taxes".... yada yada yada..... justification?
If you don't like Canadian taxes, move to another country....
and take your money with you, if you haven't done it yet, why haven't you? something to do with tax laws, and early withdrawal of money and benefits of being a Cdn Citizen (which you probably wouldn't get if you leave Canada completely).
And you forgot about all the tax breaks you can get, with a higher income. RRSP, RESP, Tax free account, and after market income of Capital gains and dividends on stock.....to name only a few investment opportunities with the advent of extra cash.
Cash that lower income people don't have access to; and do not contribute much to RRSP or RESP or tax free accounts....
So are you really paying 53% for tax, or is it much lower with tax write-offs? Yes the top income earners do control how much tax they pay. Do you contribute more to a politcal party, if so, its a better write off then to a charity/church.... (RRSP-18%, RESP about 3000.00??/year, tax free account is 5000/year, Dividend approx 25%)
https://www.moneysense.ca/save/tax-brackets-canada-provinces-2020/#:~:text=For 2020, the Ontario surtax is a bit,of provincial tax owed that is over $4,830.
The above tax rate says for over 214,00.00 tax rate is 33%.
The burden of taxes in Canada falls on the middle class, not the wealthy (1%) (approx 30 to 95% of Canadians). Of course I am assumming the poor, the middle class and the top 1-2%.
People working are only taking 2 to 3 weeks vacation, depending on what job they have. Low income people rarely get more than 2 weeks a year at the start of their careers.
The reality is that I really don't like assholes that complain and say "I pay so much taxes", which means they are boasting about how much money they make...
its the tone...
The question the Canuck numbers guy should be asking, is "if the poor can't afford it, why should the rich be allowed to go?" , "Is it fair?" , "What can I do to help?" instead he says "I pay 53% in taxes".....
As for those backpackers in their 20s, I am going to guess that their parents are well off and can afford to send them extra cash, when the shit hits the fan....Most of them aren't gonna say "my mom brought my clothes and backpack or my flight over here".... just guessing....They all want to say "I did this on my own"....And I am not talking about the guys in the tent cities in Vancouver and Victoria. It s the ones travelling Europe and Asia and other countries, taking time off from school....
And PM is right it the laws of those countries which send Canadians back (cause they don't want to lose those Cdn benefits) to Canada. But they have other countries they can visit, which brings it back to the limits of how long a Cdn can be out of Canada....
For all the people who told me to fuck off- you did not have any arguements why it should be longer than 2 weeks? other to to tell me to fuck off....
I must of hit a nerve or guilty conscience.....
