I am no slave.
I am a free thinker who happens to be Canadian. As such, I must give thanks for the wonderful schooling and medical care i received here, not to mention the wonderful social programs i took part in growing up. I am happy to pay tax. {not more then i should though}
Of course i write off what is possible. There are many incentives here you can take advantage of. However scheming to pay zero while you take full advantage of the rights afforded you in the world for being, in my case Canadian, is like the friend who never brings money to dinner.
Social programs need to exist to keep society on the right path. That is what religion was originally designed for. To herd the sheep. Well the sheep still need herding.
The average person out there is brain-dead, this board is not a fair representation of the outside world. This is a collection of business owners speaking from the hip on various subjects. Without patting ourselves on the back too much, the majority of longtime posters here are of above average intelligence.
So 95% of the earth still needs to be told exactly what to do. Or in one generation they would be drinking water from the same place they shit. They would eat themselves into an early death, and poison their own water supply with chemicals. People and companies need to be regulated for more reasons then just bending over for "the man".
Just because you are doing great and dominating your time on earth, do not assume that others are. Try to do your best in all areas. Not just your pocketbook.
