"No I do not have a lot of money to spare and yes, I too do not like the Harper governemt and some of the things our taxes are being spent on. I also wish I could believe that the government was fairly elected so that at least its policies could be…"

Gene S. replied to laura mar sims's discussion How do you feel about Income Tax
"I am one of these odd characters who thinks that taxes are the price we pay for services which we expect our governments to provide for us. When anything is wrong, we expect governments to fix it, but we must be willing to pay for it. Pensions paid…"

Gene S. replied to Joe Blow's discussion HST rejected by B.C.
"Joe, I will stop arguing with you.  I admitted that I had not read the Star story but went by your report. You wrote that interest under $1000 qualified for the exemption. Therefore an entry of $1 would come within the exemption. Perhaps I…"

Gene S. replied to Joe Blow's discussion HST rejected by B.C.
"Yes, I agree with you that our concepts of taxation appear to be radically different. The main difference appears to be that I am prepared to pay taxes for government services some of which are for the general welfare of the country and not…"

Gene S. replied to Joe Blow's discussion HST rejected by B.C.
"Yes, I know we have HST in Ontario as I live there. The efficiency in the tax does not relate to the provision opf government services, but to the operation of government and business tax administration and therefore saves money which in turn…"

Gene S. replied to Joe Blow's discussion HST rejected by B.C.
"The HST is a much better (more effficient and equitable) tax than a mix of GST and PST . Exemptions are possble under any tax system. Why is is that we are prepared to pay for booze and sports events, but not for the government services which…"

Too much variety, not enough activity

Posted on August 5, 2010 at 8:03pm 0 Comments

I have been a member of this site for about a month now and check in almost every day...sometimes even several times a day.. and find that there are so many different groups and sites but many of them seem to be dormant. There seems little point in posting a comment on something that is several months old as no one seems to be coming back to look at it. Would some consolodidation or even pruning be in order?

Hello Eugene,

Unfortunately the person who started the G20 discussion must have deleted it. We included it in the email because it was a interesting and active debate, but sadly it was deleted by its creator, something we have no control of.

Please feel free to start a new one! Sorry for the confusion.

Best,

admin

Nice to fine you here! I've spent all morning looking for, and downloading, stuff for my iPad. It's amazing how much is available. I got 'stuck' in google books.... my adventures in the virtual world will never end.
