   Government doesn't give a damn.  Take cheese, USA is $4.65 and the same   
   item in Canada is $12.99....just a little tariff greed and price fixing.   
     Then excise, sales and other hidden taxes.  Even civic tax greed on   
   rent/utilities.   
      
   To Ottawa and other governments, we are just tax sheep.  Viewing it this   
   way is the only way to explain how taxation really works.   
      
   Poor already paying for it.  Just many are too stupid to realize it.   
   Just suckers for paying $1000s in extra often hidden taxes for a $80 GST   
   check.  Penny wise, pound foolish.   
   --   
   Corrupt USA, Euro Bank and Military Regime, funding both sides of   
   terrorism for profit and debt-tax slavery.
