Default Re: Great Going Canada....pathetic

I cannot stand our current government in Canada. At this point, I do not even know if I am Liberal, Conservative, etc. but what I do know is that their actions are speaking louder than words.

It was proposed last month that couples be able to file for taxes together in order to allow us to claim more of our taxes back. Currently, we can "file together" but must submit our applications separately. This results in some tax benefits, but not as many as if we could treat our incomes as one, our expenses as one, etc. The government turned it down, claiming it would cost them over $5 billion per year in lost revenue. Excuse me? Those are MY tax dollars, not the government's, thank you very much.

Christ, it's like a circus in parliment!
