Such sarcasm evidently matches your arrogance. It is most odd indeed that
prior to the introduction of 
income taxation, this nation had such mechanisms in place to provide
essential services no less. Ever wonder 
how Canada was able then to do so without income taxation, whereas today it
cannot? The state has ceased
to be fiscally and professionally responsible and accountable, and has
developed such dependency on taxpayers 
rather than being independant as it once was. Those are the real issues,
state responsibility, accountability and
accountability, which Mr. Lavigne clues into. 

Income taxation was implemented then in order to fund our nation's military
contributions abroad, NOT in order to serve
the essential needs of Canadians. Killing costs. However noble and
humanitarian was this nation's contributions then,
we have ceased to be at war for over 50 years now - and thus, it should
endeavor to restore that mechanism
that worked, as much as it can, instead of usurping the hard earned incomes
of Canadians as it does.

Personally I do not advocate zero taxation, however, I do advocate a
substantive reduction in income taxation, so as 
to better allow more Canadians to redirect such incomes earned through
toil, towards themselves, their children, and 
their future. Your humor is just that - humor - and cynical indeed. Do you
not think that professionals employed by we
the taxpayers, cannot devise better ways of attending to the providing of
services than to increasingly tax the citizenry?

State sponsored and extorted income taxation is nothing but a cop-out - for
history clearly recalls that we had such
mechanisms in place then to deal with Canadians' needs. But it is all so
very convenient to forget this fact of history, 
for it far easier (and lazier) to drink at the trough of taxpayers'
extorted "contributions" to a "voluntary" income taxation 
policy than to apply one's expertise so as to devise alternative methods of
raising a state's funds. All taxpayers are
effectively speaking, paying for our "servants" incompetances and
arrogances towards such matters. 

Then of course, there are expenditures which our state maintains, that do
have ill effects on such things as our 
natural resources and ecologies, yet which all taxpayers are forced to fund
without consultation nor approval. If anything,
a drive towards lowering or zeroing income taxation should impress upon our
public servants, elected or appointed, to
do what they're paid to do - act responsibly, in an accountable manner, and
through greater consultation with those that
are forced to pay their salaries and expenses.
