Canadian regional pay -- prepare to cringe

[ex j-41]

One problem with Canada, they would not allow me to register my GTO there. I dont like the place because of it.

To top it off it was most likely made in Ontario!


Try bring fruit accross the border...Apples grown in Canada but sold in NY cannot be brought back accross the border. WTF>

No the goat was made in Australia. But end result is still the same.

Yes the Holden is a beautiful car, and I do like it with out the hood scoops. However on the GTO they split the exhaust and it makes the back end look better.

Why would I cringe?
These people have to live in the socialists republic of Canada. Do you know how much of that pay will be going towards taxes?

Ha ha. I'll tell exactly how much.

In the Socialist Republic of Canada, people who make less than $60,000 pay LESS in taxes than in the U.S. That's because Canadian taxes are more heavily weighed towards the wealthy.

Thanks to George W. Bush, people in the U.S. with lower-to-middle incomes, like, oh say RJ pilots, have had their taxes go up, while people making $120,000 have had their taxes go down. Thanks, GW.

Know your facts.

That's still a temporary setback. You're arguing what's happened in roughly one year which is very short sighted. Generally speaking 1 US = 1.4-1.7CAD. At the bottom of our economy we are only equaling theirs.

Nonsense. It's not the bad economy that's cheapening the dollar. If anything, the cheap dollar is helping to PROP UP the economy by making goods we export cheaper.

The dollar is dropping like a rock with flight spoilers out because of the budget deficit and the trade deficit. The budget deficit (read: funding the trillion dollar war in Iraq) means we have to sell Treasury bonds to overseas investors, meaning our dollars are going overseas. Likewise, the trade deficit (particularly oil) means more dollars going overseas.

We'll never see the Loonie at 1.50 again.

Why not a flat tax? Why should the rich have to pay a larger percentage of their pay? That does not seem fair to me.

Perhaps they get paid more because they have to deal with this (copied directly from the link):

azz Capacity Purchase Agreement with Air Canada


Hmmm

 

[atlcrashpad]

Not just the taxes, everything seems more expensive in Canada. The price of beer alone justifies the higher pay.
