   The contract with the taxpayer is simple.   
      
   Involuntary bend over and take the hose.   
      
   Taxpayers should get two votes and government   
   employees/welfare/EI/criminals get zero.  Would fix a lot of what is wrong.   
      
   Sad fact is leaches outnumber producers in Canada.  So if you are a   
   producer, bend over.
