Actually Cliffy is right, we paid and the interest was supposed to go the fund
instead they have handed out big tax cuts to the wealthy and big corps and
then complain about OAS.
What they didn't give out in tax cuts they gave out in these make work projects
and filled potholes instead of using the money for what it was intended had that
happened there would be a lot more money to go round. Its not OAS that is the
problem its government mismanagement of the programs and monies coming
in

Considering that we are living off the Canadian taxpayer, DS, I for one am thankful for every increase - no matter how small.
So I guess paying taxes on everything from food, services, municipal, school, garbage, and personal taxes over 50 years counts for nothing. Worse, sold the farm last year and paid capital gains & earnings to the tune of 125,000.00. Oh and that doesn't include any of the above smaller amounts.


Because I sold the farm, the income for the year was over the amount for that pension, so I do not get it this year. LOL, now both governments think I have multiple farms to sell and want $125,000. divided between Sept. and Dec. of this year. .Guess what they ain't gonna get it.


Oh well, the taxing system at least has encourages me to spend. Life is soooo tough LOL.
