There are taxes on payroll, personal property, pensions, severance, Social Security, corporation, stock transfer, tobacco, tonnage, transportation, utilities, accumulated earnings, ad - valorem, alcoholic beverages, amusements, apparel, business, capital gains, consumption, corporate income, dividends, employment, estate, excise, franchises, fuel, furnishings, sales, gift, gross receipts, health care, holding company, inheritance, land, license, life insurance, luxuries, occupation, operators license, motor oil, motor vehicle, did I miss any? Lets pick something from that list- motor vehicle: There's tire taxes (per tire, times 5), the battery taxes, there's air conditioning taxes, there's PST, GST, HST, QST, there's luxury taxes, and there's fuel consumption taxes. Oh yes, and there's filing fees. Income . . . . Equality is the goal? It seems graduated is hypocritical to its intended outcome. Why does the debt attached to federal notes get a pass in all this?
