You are just as guilty of the same mindset when you tell Hoof Hearted to get an education or tell me to get a job... There are also more instances of you using this same mindset that you then base your argument off of.


No sense trying to converse with the Idiot, Johnny- he's too f**King dense to pound sand in a rat hole!

No I'm not. I base my comments on your comments. Don't whine about people doing better than than you and I won't be telling you to improve yourself. That's how it works.

Like ive mentioned before explicitly i'm not whining about people doing better than myself...

In the example you are stating i'm talking about the millennial generation and while at the same time as being a millennial the subject doesn't necessarily reflect upon my personal situation.

Cannuck, I'm talking to you...

I'm not a big fan of the income tax (at least not the current way it's being done).

The problem with it is that a senior with lots of cash/assets and lower expenses but lower income pays no income tax. A single parent with two kids, no assets, higher living expenses and a modest income does pay income tax.

The GST on the senior discounts alone could add up to 25 million a month in lost revenue. We should find out for sure. Of course, it's not really lost revenue if the businesses are just passing on the cost of those discounts to the rest of the public. So not only are the seniors getting a break on the income side but also to consumption side. Considering seniors are the wealthiest generation in this country's history, pigs at the trough is the only way to describe it

How many times do you want to tax wealth? It should be done either when it is earned or when it is spent. Nothing else.

I see no reason it can't be both. The problem with a consumption tax is that if it's too large it creates an underground economy. Without income tax, it would have to be significant without drastic cuts in spending

Don't pay any attention to that twit! If he had his way the seniors would pay all the tax while he would be siphoning from it. I doubt if the jerk did an honest day's work in his entire life. The job he has now allows him a good 6 hours a day making an utter nuisance of himself! :) :)

Pigs at the trough are getting all sniffily

I've just never heard that expression before.

These people are so ancient, they don't even pay taxes yet they still complain about them.

Requoting this again...

Anyways since you base your comments on my comments this means that you have read them. Ok so you can read but comprehension is not your forte because if you actually comprehended what i said then you would know your comments arent based on fact.

Am i right? Can you factually prove me wrong? I want to hear a good come back here Cannuck, like a good one.

You be a little more specific. I'm not quite sure what your issue is.

Sniffity sniffty sniffles

You say all these things about people but can't back it up...

Of course I can


For example, you've stated that i don't do my share in regards to paying taxes and earning enough income. Based on what?

I think you my be confusing "we" with the royal "we"

These people are so ancient, they don't even pay yet they still complain about them.

That's probably the funniest part. They're like teenagers that don't pull their weight around the house yet complain because supper isn't quite up to their standard.

Based on crass ignorance, Johnny. He's been on about that sh*t since I joined the forum about 8 years ago. Most people gain knowledge as time goes on but he just gains ignorance. He is one person who thinks the world along with the aged, infirm and decrepit owe him a living.
