Virginia's sales tax is 4%.

Is the 15% Canada's NATIONAL sales tax, BTW?
No, 7% federal, 8% provincial.

Richius,

What about local taxes, like the property tax, personal property tax, wheel tax, sales tax, and other state and local fees?
We don't have local taxes.  My parents pay 44% income tax and 15% sales tax.  Property tax is about $3,000 a year.  I don't know what wheel tax is.  The other duties and stuff we pay are tax on gas (slighly more expensive than in the United States) and alcohol, and countless other hidden ones.

Haha! And they say a 15% sales tax won't work here!

It won't; Canada is a socialistic wasteland, remember? Smiley

No, I mean they say it will hurt the 'working poor' (for the most part, a contradiction, of course). And yet the socialistic country of Canada has a sales tax of 15%, so obviously you guys aren't worried about it.

And of course I would only support this in order to get rid of the income tax.
You'll *love* what the Ontario liberal party did.  Before 2004, the Conservatives were in power.  Now the liberals are.  One of the promises of the liberals were "no increase in taxes."  Of course, all the lavish promises to improve health care and education and welfare, ... Well, it is too expensive, and his promise of a balanced budget, well, something is wrong.  The premier's solution?  Not new taxes... but he raised and created new "fees."

There is now a $200 - $800 surtax on income (this is not a percentage!!) for health care.  Per year.  And it is going up.  It is a little graduated, but even the poor people are paying it.

Additionally, he raised the costs of getting a driver's license, a marriage license, to create a company, and all the other fees the government charge for various services.


Now, will this affect those people earning $80,000+ a year?  Not really.  An extra $800 and an extra $30 or so on each government thing they need will hardly break them.

However, those miserable s that voted for the commie government (hint: they're on welfare, and most of those that earn < $30,000 a year), well, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You voted for him, now pay the price.  SUFFER.  YOU are now paying an extra $300 a year on health care.  YOU are now paying an extra 20% on all government fees.  YOU are now suffering.  SUFFER you s, suffer.  Cry.  WHine.  You voted for him.
