Taxes (2024)

     Canadians pay a lot in taxes and we know it. We are taxed on the money we make, we get taxed on the items that we buy with the income that was already taxed, we get taxed on the property continually that we paid for with the same taxed income, we get taxed on that same house when we sell it for any difference in price, and we get taxed in so many more areas with many more taxes. This combined with the wasting of our money has lead to us having to deal with a high living cost.
 
   The government needs to stop giving our money away to those who don’t deserve it or don’t give us an equal value of something in return. No money for other countries or foreign wars, no money for bailouts, etc. They also need to reduce many of the tax rates and eliminate a lot of them entirely. I believe we need to reduce income tax, eliminate GST, eliminate the carbon tax, eliminate capital gains tax for individuals, and the list goes on. By eliminating the wasteful spending that both the Liberals and Conservatives do, there is no need to have so many and such high taxes.
 
   Why the government wants to eliminate the middle class and put them into poverty doesn’t make any sense to the average person. This is what they’re doing while at the same time telling us that they’re trying to help lift people out of poverty. They are the ones who created the problem and are now selling us the solution. We can’t stand by and allow this to happen.
