BC Refeds re : HST‏


http://www.youtube

The Gov't of BC announced that BC will be 'Harmonizing'
Provincial sales tax with the Federal GST, and said it will
be revenue neutral. I heard today that harmonization will
mean that there will be many fewer items that will be tax
exempt now. Bottom line: More revenue will be collected.


Read carefully. Many groups including our MLAs want you to believe
it will be revenue neutral but it sure doesn't look that way to me.
The government in Ontario is giving each resident a $ 1000. cheque.
Our government should forget about doing the same in BC. It will
not even begin to pay the first year increase in costs. Remember
the $ 100.00 we received when the carbon tax was introduced.?


Let's send a message to our MLA, (perhaps even this email) talk
about it to your friends, send this email to everyone you can think
of. These figures don't include some major key items such as car
and home insurance going up 7%, home heating oil and gas for your
car and natural gas for your home are going up 7 %. Just think
about this the next time you eat in a restaurant. The entire bill
will be taxed at 12% and the suggested tip is 15% for a total of
27%.

Trips to chiropractors, natualpaths and other important services up 7%,
Home purchases, used car purchases and many more that no one has thought
about yet.

It is time to act before it is too late.
This is done to save business money by combining the two taxes (PST and
GST) but there are already exceptions so why is there a need to add PST
to items that don't have PST on them other then as a tax grab.
Let those MLA's know how unhappy we are.

THE TAX GRAB 7% more for NOTHING more
Seniors living in retirement enjoy a lifestyle different than the one they
lived while at work. In retirement, to be active, often means paying a
fee, a membership, an admission, a subscription or for costs for travel,
etc.

We have calculated that the impact of this will be more costly for
seniors, than anyone has reported.

Consider a retired couple, receiving total retirement income of $41,400
after tax per year, healthy enough to enjoy some comfort in retirement.

Many of those items used on a daily basis will now be subject to an 7%
cost increase, because of the new harmonized sales tax introduced by the
Liberal government

Look at just a few of those items that will cost more, without getting
more.
Cable TV: if $60 monthly, yearly increase is $50.40 more.
Golf Fees: if $1,500 yearly X 2, yearly increase is $210.00 more
Gym Membership: if $35 month X 2, yearly increase is $58.80 more.
Hydro: if $85 monthly, yearly increase is $71.40 more.
Haircuts: if $450 annually for 2 people, yearly increase is $31.50
more.

Internet: If $65 monthly, yearly increase is $70.00 more.
Income Tax Prep. If cost is $150 X 2, yearly increase is $21.00 more
.

IS THIS A NEW HIDDEN TAX TO HELP PAY FOR THE 2010 OLYMPICS?...you bet it
is
THIS TAX IS COMING IN 2010

Sad but true!!
At first I thought this was funny....then I realized the
awful truth of it. Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass i.e. his donkey.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.


Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
To my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It’s time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation
was one of the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

I hope this goes around CANADA at least 100 times!!!!! YOU
can help it get there!!!!

GO AHEAD - - - be a CANADIAN !!!!!!!!!!
