Today is officially Tax Freedom Day in Saskatchewan. That means that the average taxpayer has finished working for the governments of various levels, and may now earn their first penny of true family income.
Tax Freedom Day for Canada as a whole falls on June 28th. Monday, the 28th of June, happens to be the date of the federal election.
Isn’t it ironic?
Half the year, we work to pay taxes. But, don’t be bogged down by negativity. Be positive. The glass isn’t half empty, as they say. It’s half full.
“Glass half full.”
Say it over and over until you can visualize it. Then, on Monday, go down to the voting booths, and remember which two parties are actively campaigning that it’s un-Canadian to lower taxes.
You should know what to do with that glass.
Kate,
What exactly are they doing with all that money?
I know there’s no intention of buying aircraft carriers or anything.
Is running Canada really that expensive?
