Wait until the Value-Added Tax the politicians want to push through to pay for various things gets pushed through. Then we'll hear a lot more complaining about tax, boy howdy.
Been there, done that. In Canada we have our national Goods and Services Tax (GST) which is 5% , plus provincial taxes of various amounts. In Ontario for example PST is 8% so on anything you buy, you wind up paying 13% on top in taxes. And if you think that's bad, it used to be 15% (the feds dropped the GST a couple of points a few years ago).

I once had a drunk guy doing magic tricks and making his money disappear when it was time to pay with a long queue behind him I just asked if he would make the queue disappear or pay.

And now the Provincial Government wants to integrate both taxes so normally non-taxable goods, such as essential foodstuffs (Milk, meat, vegetables, etc.) would get the full 13% tax as well as Everything else.
Can we say 'Cash Grab'? *Sigh* Anything else I have to say on the matter is Fratching.

Good lord, I didn't know that. Now that I have moved south I don't pay attention to the news back home as much. I always loved that essentials weren't taxed. Figures they are trying to take that away now.
