he's right in a sense about us canadians rolling over with taxes... they fought wars over keeping theirs down. We just pay more and more and try to vote our way into lower taxes, which is pretty ineffective to say the least...
I'm more for a flat tax or higher sales tax and get rid of income taxes. americans fought one war over taxes so long ago it has nothing to do with who is living today. what are they going to do if they don't like tax increases? vote them out, ok well chances are the next people you vote in are going to do the same thing anyways. i don't have the solutions to curbing how corrupt politics is but i have to chuckle at those who think voting a certain party in will fix anything.
