hitops Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 You did not pay the taxes being given to you. The childless did. Your attempt at a dodge is pathetic. Specifically relating to money shifting from the childless to those with children, you are right. There is no reason people without kids should have to subsidize those with kids. In taxation generally however, you are wrong. People with kids (excluding natives) tend to pay quite a bit more in taxes than those who are single, largely because people with kids tend to be older, further in their careers and earning higher salaries. They tend to be people with more stable economic and social situations to begin with, therefore more earnings and more gov revenue taxed from them. They also have to buy WAY more crap due to kids, contributing a ton more to GST/PST than singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitops Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 It doesn't matter if the CBC is pro or anti any party. It is ludicrous that taxpayers are funding a media outlet, full stop. Exactly what kind of a vital service is media programming? If people want to consume various garbage opinion pieces, let them direct their own resources to whatever media outlet they choose. Absolutely no reason the tax base should pay for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
