Liar!

Find their tax returns to see what deductions they have. Otherwise your little graph is meaningless. If there are loopholes speak to trudOWE.

The tax structure favors the rich.

Btw....are you a billionaire?

No and no.
The ta structure favours the poor who not only pay no taxes they get credits for not paying.

If they use legal means to reduce their tax's it is obviously their fair share. If you have proof any are cheating please forward said proof to CCRA.In any event that pertains to income tax while the wealthy pay far more in a multitude of other taxes from GST to property taxes. THey also generally use far less government services even though they pay the bills.



I guess you don't follow the news.

None of that is needed to show your post was a lie and nothing but a lie. You are welcome to post something that disputes the chart, your words alone are not cutting it.

The majority of Canadians don't even make the $100,000 that is the cut off point of the graph, I wonder why?

When I was a boy, $0.65 an hour was enough to pay a mortgage! Greedy, grasping snowflakes!

Commies!

If you spend more you pay more tax in that bracket. If you drive 100,000 miles you use more gas than somebody that drives 10,000 miles. Would you like that reverses. If you own a property worth $1m you will pay more property tax than somebody live in a trailer park. If that is an issue they should live in a trailer-park themselves.
The part that escapes them is the fact that making more money does make you a person who has more right to a healthy and long life rather than being used as a living lab rat.

Amount of money generally has nothing to do with the quality of the individual!

You probably mean, 'How old was your Dad?'


That's true as all the big money is inherited rather than earned, thanks for pointing that out.


Well, possibly 80 - 90% :)


(Is the money paid to sports heros earned?)

Don't have a family if you can't afford it. The wealthy already pay far more than their fair share of taxes. Time for the freeloaders to get a job and contribute their fair share of taxes instead of sucking money out of the system.

Hey you can't have it both ways. It seems to me you are against immigration, but at the same time you want to deny Canadians the right to have children. And if the wealthy are paying their fair share, then why does the wealth gap in Canada between the wealthy and the rest of the population keep on growing?

Perhaps every taxpayer should have the same taxation scheme. They are all corporations and their deductions are taken off the gross and tax is on net income. Pretty much every dime that goes to keeping you alive and mobile would apply.
