    In the unlikely event that you run out of toilet paper, you can always do the job with ANY piece of literature from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

    This both promotes recycling and, just for the purpose of experiment, you will get to see just how much sh*t you can add to the tripe in said literature.

    The truth requires no balance. heh

    Fairness: see antonym: Canadian Taxpayers Federation

    Was watching George Carlin and I guess found my groove once again.

    Decorum: a social convention where "killing" is relabelled "termination", torture is referred to as "gathering intelligence", shafting your employees is called "downsizing", profiteering off of exploited third world labour is called "competitiveness", and blatant propaganda designed to deceive and mislead us is called "truth".

    Screw it, and anything that looks, acts, or smells like it.

    The Canadian (council of CEOs) Taxpayers Federation never lies, it always tells the truthiness.

    I figure that the Canadian government (doesn't matter which party is in power) is at best 25% efficient.......

    "Stop the 'abuse,' says taxpayers' watchdog"

    Every time I'm forced into paying taxes I feel abused because I am being abused. If I refuse to pay the extortion fee, thugs armed with all sorts of weapons will come calling. I have no problem paying for worthwhile services, I don't even mind paying to help those less fortunate than myself, but I do mind being forced to pay for something that I have absolutely no say in how the money is to be spent. Forced taxation without any accountability can only be described as armed robbery on a grand scale.

    Oh come on, how can you criticise paying $37 billion a year in interest to banks when we get to use their credit as our money? If not for banks creating credit, we'd have to do something like have the government print interest free money that would serve only as the economy's lubricant. Of course, the bankers would then be homeless and that $37 billion per year would just be wasted on hypochondriacs, malcontents, and layabouts! Hospitals, social services, education, for what?

    Sorry man, I forgot about how useful those banks are that loan out money that they don't actually have and then double it on "legal" interest rates. It was very gracious of past and current Canadian governments to put the yoke of interest payment slavery on all of us.

    I'll now continue to make voluntary tax payments to help out these poor banks, not to forget helping out the war effort, you know, the war on drugs and the war on terrorism, and to help out big corporations that exploit our natural resources, and last but not least, to help out with our chidrens education ... oh, I forgot ... to hell with those schools, we did not need them anyway!
