Here is my money... take as much as you want

Just a few questions that need to be asked:

If you are taxed at more than 50%, is that technically slavery to the state?

Why do people defend our tax rates by saying it goes to support the poorest of the poor? (I don't think we have a clue where it all goes.)

Are we really starting to consider our tax dollars as charitable contributions to society and if that's working so well, why are so many charities in desperate need of support?

Why do we have to fight to keep the school buses for our neighbourhood when our tax rates have never been higher?

Why do we still not have enough MRIs to serve those in the greatest need?

Why did our doctors leave?

If we don't complain when taxes such as HST unnecessarily decrease our spending power, have we willingly shifted spending power to the government?

If we lowered taxes across the board (dramatically), would Canadians pay for more of their children's education without asking for government aid? Would we save more for our retirement? Would we pay off more of our mortgages? Could we start small businesses with fewer grants?

Can our government trust us to use our own money wisely, instead of taking it in taxes and making us ask for it back when we need it?

but that's just from my vantage point....
