YEAH!!

Esp in B.C. .. serious problem!

Why some people are paying 6 digit tax/yr, and some pay near ZERO (well, GST/HST) but they get same (or more) benifit?

Those immigrants with no income still pay property tax and sales tax. Can't say that have no contrib ...

Very small amount .. in %   say a $1M house, may be $5-6K property .. but since they have no income .. they are also taking money from us ...  

Vs ..  normal family here, say making $250K, live in a $1M house ..  will pay ~ $100K in tax/yr!

I can see if someone live in Canada for whole life ..  retired at 65 yr old .. he probably paid 40 yr tax .... then take advantage in his last 20 yr of so ..

Not that serious in Alberta, but I still know lots of people ..  they don't work, nor never work in Canada .. so .. pay just minium tax, but take advantage on benifit ..

Well ...

Put it this way ..  

Doesn't matter a $100K benz sold to Fobs or hard working people ..   government will still COLLECT tax .... (unless u are native)

It is not a fair world ... sometimes I feel it..  say I am paying big tax, and the guy having dim sum in China town, is COLLECTING money, TAKING FULL advantage of medi service .. and pay tiny little tax .....  

Just not the right/even math.
