text: Since when did fair taxes equate to class warfare. The "average" Canadian family is hard pressed to take advantage of existing tax shelters - RRSP, TFSA, RESP etc. But wait, wealthy people want more. Sprinkling dividends/salaries from a corporation is pure tax avoidance. This problem is aggravated by the underground economy, which is huge but seldom discussed. Canadians expect a lot from our governments. Healthcare, infrastructure, security, social services etc. These bills have to be paid is we are not goiung to bankrupt our children. (retired MD).
