Considering how much money our government spends on bullshit, I don't feel particularly angry at small business owners cheating their taxes. They are certainly not the worst offenders. Wealthy Canadians cheat on a lot of taxes. Especially if they have investments in foreign jurisdictions that don't give any fucks. Because their income isn't reported conveniently on a little slip of paper. They hide a lot of their revenue and report bogus expenses, have the best accountants for cooking the books, etc.
If the money being spent was actually you know, reducing homelessness, reducing opioid addiction, etc. then that's one thing. But what I see is the government spending a lot of money with no results. How is it that we are taxing more but poverty is getting worse?
The Canadian system breaks the backs of the middle class to allow over 50% of the country (about 99% poor, 1% rich) to do fuck all, and still live comfortably. It seems like right wing politics hates the poor, and left wing hates the rich, yet you guys don't know that you're getting DPed by both of them at the same time. Keep working 80 hours a week so you can front the bill for the guy that makes 100x more than you, and the guy that doesn't work at all.
