When you have families in the $40-50k a year range paying zero taxes

Like I asked BP, what is this middle class who is getting soaked?
With the new tax changes people making over $250k are probably going
to be paying close to 90% of the taxes.
If you really want to see some taxes, get that "free" public health
care thing going. It ads about 25% to the average Canadian's tax bill,
far more than that for a Frenchman
Please. You are speaking as if federal income tax is the only tax.
It is not. There is FICA, Medicare, and health plans coming directly
out of paychecks. And often state taxes.
Again, I bet Don would swap tax bills with you.
But he may not want to swap his free health care for our form.
Is someone under the impression that we're getting free health care?
I'm still paying and will pay exhorbitant rates. I'm happy that some
who can't afford what I can will have access.
Anyone who's getting taxed will bitch but it depends on what you're
getting for your tax dollar that counts.
We buy bullets and bombs.
Canadians buy health care and a decent education.
