I realize I'm pissing into the wind here on this issue. But.

I paid $19,465.43 in income tax last year. My business paid 15% on the money it made on top of that. I pay 13% HST on everything I buy, consume, rent, use, etc I pay HST on top of the provincial and federal excise tax on fuel, so tax on tax. I paid a tire disposal tax on the new tires on my truck.

I pay property tax on my home.

Now Metrolinx wants impose "revenue tools" (READ TAXES) which according to the spectator are going to cost me (low side) another $477. 00 per year.

This is all coming from a government that has been in power for 10 years which pissed away close to a $BILLION to cancel two gas plants to save two seats in the legislature, pissed away another $BILLION plus on E Health, pissed away untold millions on ORNJE, implemented all day kindergarten to the tune of $1.5 BILLION a year without really examining the protracted costs, benefits or alternatives. Feed in Tariffs to pay for overpriced, subsidized "green energy" that the province has to sell at a loss.

They seriously expect us to believe that they can be trusted with implementing this "plan" without completely buggering it up?

We have municipalities cutting core services decrying they're broke even though some of them are running surpluses.

THERE IS NOT A REVENUE PROBLEM IN ONTARIO, THERE IS A SPENDING PROBLEM COMBINED WITH A LISTLESS, RUDDERLESS INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT.

Metrolinx says it requires $2Billion a year for 25 years to fund The Big Move. If you honestly believe there is not AT LEAST that much a year that can be found in waste, mismanagement and unneeded spending in this province....... I own a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you cheap.
