Hey pgs- There is just no reasonable response to some stupid questions! The dim wit seems to think that because the Gov't squanders money the rest of us who have some (and I don't have a lot) are supposed to bail them out,. Best just to ignore it. :)
Yes I know and also understand he also complains about his deductions like everyone else . The difference between us is he will never admit it unless a conservative is PM .

Without a doubt the top 25% do pay close to 100% of the Income tax, Pgs's assessment of the 10% for 90% of the tax is probably close




Perhaps this will clear things up. According to the article 51% of all income tax is paid by the top 8%. However, no one in Canada gets away with paying no taxes considering sales taxes and hidden taxes.

Disguised 'illegal' voters cost Republicans midterm victories: Trump

Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Democrats wearing disguises and voting more than once were responsible for Republican losses in tight congressional elections.
"The Republicans don't win and that's because of potentially illegal votes," Trump was quoted as saying by right-wing website The Daily Caller.
Final results have yet to be declared in multiple races following last week's midterm polls, with tense recounts underway in Florida.
The midterm races for governor and senator in the politically important state are so close that recounts are obligatory. Republican Rick Scott was ahead of incumbent Democratic Senator Bill Nelson by just 50.1 to 49.9 percent, according to the latest unofficial count.
Democrats have accused Republicans of maneuvering to prevent full vote tallies, while Trump told The Daily Caller that voter fraud had tipped the contest into chaos.
Trump claimed, without providing any evidence, that blatant use of fake voters in disguise had swung close elections.
"When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It's really a disgrace what’s going on," Trump said.

Absolutely I agree that everyone pays sales taxes, even on Reserves some products still have taxes that are not exempt, that's why I agree with Walter with a consumption tax it would catch those that don't fill out a tax return. A straight out flat tax on Income would be the fair way to go between all Income brackets it would as well eliminate any free rides.


From your article

In 2014, 27.5 million Canadian filed a tax return; 33% (9.1 million) paid no income tax; 67% (18.4 million tax filers) paid all the federal and provincial income tax.
Those with incomes under $50,000 accounted for 68.4% of all tax filers and paid 13.2% of all federal income tax.
Filers between $50,000 and $99,999 represented 23.3% of all filers and paid 35% of all federal income tax.
Those with incomes at $100,000 and above represented 8.4% of all filers and paid 51.8% of all federal income tax
Of note, those with incomes at $250,000 or higher represented 1% of all tax filers and paid 21.1% of all federal income tax.

Like I said the top 25% pay almost all the Income tax even if the % in your article = 121% of taxes paid.

You have to tax the income. Therefore if some small percentage of the population happens to earn a lot of money then they have to pay a lot of tax.

Not sure why this is confusing.

Not sure why you are confused? A flat rate means the more you make the more you pay, but by being fair that all citizens pay proportionate to their income level.


I like Walter's consumption tax as well it will catch persons who think they're exempt from paying any tax to the Crown. Percentage would be pretty much the same either way a slight decrease with consumption due to not needing to be registered.

Amazon makes billions and pays 0, but the big problem is poor people not paying enough?

Amazon is a person? Or a Corporation? Regardless you think they pay $0.00 in Income tax

Although you are trying divert the conversation into a US and Canada comparison Amazon does charge GST on applicable Canadian purchases.

Corporations are considered people in Canada too.

BTW Amazon has many ways to avoid taxation, maybe google what Mr Trump has to say about Amazon. He is kind of wondering why they pay no taxes too.

If that were true shareholders would not have to pay taxes
