The HST, has been set up for big business only. So low income families and seniors, will still be in the same boat, and worse off. Some of we older seniors have paid into the RRSP scam. When you draw any out, the government takes 20% from the top. You then are forced to add the rest to your income, and the government then gets to tax you again. You get to keep very little of your investment. Seniors, have no tax write offs, so your RRSP, investment is useless, the government is an ass. It's, oh dear, what should we do about the poverty? We must tax them again, so we get everything back we gave them. The government really, is an ass. The corruption in Canada, has, gone into every government agency, and is costing tax payers billions. If there was no corruption, there would be no recession. This is how fair and democratic, the Canadian government is. It, is, cheat, cheat and cheat, the citizens, every inch of the way. Citizens, have to learn, not to trust our governing officials. If there is a place beneath contempt, that is where you will find, these officials. We, now, have seen, how treacherously, we have been treated. Just assume, every time they open their mouths, they are lying.
