Did you know that the top 10,000 richest people in Canada do NOT pay income tax? I just found this out....what the fuck?! I make under 30,000 per year and every fucking year I owe those bastards money. It doesn't make any sense. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 4:45pm

And they're also the ones most likely to be standing with their hands out when it comes time for the gov't to issue grants...and they're most likely to receive them. Argh! - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 4:55pm

Not only do I continuously owe the government money every year but I also don't get gst checks or help with my healthcare even though I'm a student!! I guess that instead of working a lot while juggling school I should just get a bunch of student loans and credit cards and live in debt for the rest of my life. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 5:00pm

Well, think about the good side of this. With a population around 31 million, approximately 1 in 3100 people dont pay taxes for being rich. So now all you have to do is be that 1 in 3100 person and then you too can be rich and not have to pay taxes. Sounds good to me, the only problem is the getting rich part. - Wed, 17 Sep 2003 5:48pm

"Mac"-- Queen's really smart, that's how she knows. Really. She is. On that note, I am interested where you got this tid-bit of information too. It sounds very plausible to me since most people I know (including myself) don't know a thing about financial management, stocks, business opportunities etc. I actually know a bit about RSPs and stocks but I don't really have the guts to part with the few pennies that I have--> which is why I don't fall in the rich yuppie category. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 9:08am

I am taking the Criminal Justice program at Camosun. I learned this in my Crim 150 course which is essentially all Canadian Politics. It's a really interesting and informative class. Before taking it I was pretty ignorant to what goes on in our country...the more I learn, the more pissed off I get! I recommend everyone to take this class or at least buy the text, "Canadian Politics", by Rand Dyck. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 1:09pm

It wouldn't work, It kept saying type in a number (which I had already done) I found it interesting, but I was talking about Canada...not globally. Granted we do have it alot better than most countries...I am not denying that. - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 1:30pm

Knifeghost, after I strike it rich you can call bullshit on anything you want, and I'll send you a post card from Aruba.
First thing you got to realize about all this "richest person" shit is that there are people who own countless billions and billions of dollars of land in many countries, and they won't even show up in the top 100 richest people, because their weath is more secretive, and more tax free. As for the queen, she was the richest woman in the world until JK Rowling (harry potter author) topped the queen with some 450 million dollars and counting. Why couldn't I write a story about a dorky wizard kid with glasses? - Thu, 18 Sep 2003 4:00pm
