The human species has an instinctive dislike of taxes.

And why not?

What’s to like about handing over our hard-earned money to a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats?

However, there is a tax idea floating around out there that Canadians might actually tolerate.

It’s called the flat tax.

Essentially, the concept behind this idea is that instead of having different tax rates for different incomes everybody (individuals and businesses) would pay the same marginal rate.

Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty and his lackeys are kicking us when we’re down.

During the worst recession in our province’s history and poised to increase taxes in July, McGuinty is giving tax collectors $45,000 apiece and he’s making us pay for it.

Outraged now?

You should be.

Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan recently announced that the province is releasing 1,251 tax collectors to the federal government, because the province’s sales tax department will be obsolete, as of July 1, 2010.
