Trades are good for sure. Ain’t nothing wrong with it

I get paid under the table, mostly. Don't tell the IRS

I request my pay in checks...no bank account, because the banks own Canada's reserves...

 

[Comrade Khan]

but yes in, EC. in theory, there is supposed to be checks and balances for budgets and spending and it should all be public knowledge spomewhere

If it was transparent where tax dollars were being spent, and people could see that they are legitimately being used on the common good, I think most would feel a lot better about being taxed out the ass. I'd pay a shit ton in taxes if I could be assured they weren't being grossly mishandled.

so it the economy goes tits up, I'll have my money stashed

well see, you arent wrong at all here. one of the big problems isnt over taxation, its gross missuse of tax funds

"Healthcare and education!? I don't wanna pay for some Liberal freeloaders to get free shit on my dime! I'm gonna send it to the MILITARY BABY"

 

[Comrade Khan]

certain parties, however, also sabotage said spending and grind gov down simply to point the finger and say SEE ITS BROKEN

 

[Hoss]

But I do think the problem for a lot of people hinges on the fact that they can't actually SEE where the money is going

I mean, its pretty easy research though. rather easy to go see your military budget

 

[Hoss]

They just feel like money is being taken and they've got nothing to show for it

 

[Comrade Khan]

but also EC

 

[Hoss]

Which is... probably true with our government
