   See?  Another right winger trying to do math.   
      
   What does the population of Canada have to do with the number of   
   taxpayers in Canada?   
   Do babies pay taxes?  How 'bout all those tax-exempted populations?  How   
   'bout all those people who take more money from our tax coffers than   
   they put into them?   
   Likely like you and your 'self-employment' deductions; and 'Carr' with   
   his medications and subsidized everything.   
      
   The number of taxpayers in this country drops every time the Harper   
   government allows corporations to move their profits into off-shore   
   accounts.   
   Their Senators seem to have gotten a knack for that too.  I'd surely   
   like to see how many of those in the oil industry of Alberta pay taxes   
   in Canada, since they're all likely   
   'non resident' workers who pay taxes to their own countries somewhere   
   else on the globe.   
      
   Don't try to do math, Dobranski . . .  Hudak tried and likely he's going   
   to hear about his lack of skills during tomorrow night's debate.  Stick   
   with posting barbs and bullshit.   
   You guys excel at that.
