I suppose you can't have your cake and eat it.
I for one enjoy universal healthcare, but do recognize a massive chunk of those dollars are from tobacco related illnesses. Having said that, I sit in a tax bracket of 46%, add on 14% GST, sin tax on tobacco and alcohol, and one starts to moan.
I complain even more when large corporations make out like bandits paying 26% and padding their expense accounts.
Said moaning is totally unjustified, given the absolute comfort in which I get to live. (compared to from whence I came in Africa.)
So - you guys down South can envy our legally acquired (expensive) CC's and we will envy your more affordable NCC's. Like I said - can't have your cake and eat it!
Just venting with the BOTL.
Sigh.
Light another....
