1997rangerxlt here in Canada we pay the provincial service tax and the government service tax and where is this money going??? gee whiz every where you go you go broke.you name it and the gov. gets rich off it then we go to to work and our pay check gets ripped off ETC. ETC. just cant win xlt..we all work to live and work to survive
The gov't will go on taking our money until we complain furiously. Vote Vote Vote. Complain to your congresman, or whatever. The tax is cleverly spread out all over the place, I pay taxes to 30 different entities. and it doesn't seem as bad as it would if I was given one large tax bill at the end of the year. Imagine the red tape and bureaucracy that could be avoided if each citizen sent one big check every year? The gov't knows it would be over a barrel if it didn't constantly nickel and dime us at every chance. If Americans added up every bit of their income that went to some kind of tax and saw the total there would be Hell to pay! Maybe even some sort of Revolution against the entrenched Bureacrats that waste Billions of our dollars in gov't salaries alone.We need to simplify the way taxes are collected and make sure everyone pays their fair share, and if a group of congressman allow a corporation to skip paying taxes, maybe those congress members need to be arrested and charged with a crime. If all citizens were concerned about these matters there would be more impeachments, arrests, and hell to pay! WAke up America, you are being ROBBED!
