Surprise, Surprise! This article in the National Post confirms what most hard-working Canadians have been saying for years – We are over-taxed!

The article which comes from The Fraser Institute’s 2007 Canadian Consumer Tax Index states that “the average Canadian family spends more on taxes than on necessities of life.”

Since 1961 the tax bill for Canadians has increase 1,590%, eating up almost 45% of the average household income.  With you hard-earned money going to income taxes, sales taxes, Employment Insurance, CPP, gas taxes and import duties, it is shocking that most of us can keep our heads above water.

It is time that Canada moves away from the nanny-state that has been plaguing us for over 40 years. A 1,590% increase is just not acceptable, and only a smaller, more limited government will allow Canadians to keep more of their hard-earned income.

With more of our money going to government than to life necessities, there has never been a stronger argument for less government in Canada.
