Great video! thanks. but the mere mention of tax makes me physically ill.
though not quite as ill as those in Canada and Scandinavia it seems! (ps. did
you know that the average Fleming - those living on one side of Belgium -
subsidises the average Walloon - those living on the other side of Belgium - to
the tune of €160 PER MONTH!) source: www.brusselsjournal.com/node/1775
quote:"...In 2006 the 6 million Flemings subsidized the 4 million Walloons at a
rate of €11.5 billion (an enormous amount of money compared to the €14 bn which
is the U.S.’s annual spending on foreign aid)..."

Thanks for the info, marcus, but I know nothing about Belgium. My question,
however is "what the heck is wrong with these "Walloons" (?). Are they a bunch
of unemployables living off welfare and government subsidies? If that's the
case, we can shake hands. We have our natives - a neat little special interest
group that costs Canada millions each year. They have been forever pampered
through our hard earned cash and taxes. None of them has ever worked a day in
their life.
Don't take me wrong, we have always supported the idea of helping those who
can't help themselves but working has never been a priority for any of those
glue and gas sniffing role models. I am not sure what happened to our common
sense but we are fed up with looking after those bone-idle FIRST nations people
with typical birth certificates where the last name is like the first name. They
feel they are god sent upon Canada by the grace of the Almighty.

Is that what the Walloons are all about too?? haaaa

I'm just glad I don't pay taxes in Canada.

Here's my latest youtube effort - a collaboration with a good friend I made on
the you tube community. It got 200 odd views in a matter of hours of posting.

Our taxes are a bit steep but, then again, we are not the ones who whimper and
whine about abortions while putting other kids at risk of dying because
hospitals can't provide cancer pediatric care. No one likes to dig into their
pocket but one has to remember that our health care is provided for out of those
very taxes. There are many "hidden" taxes (like the health care tax that
businesses contribute for their health care insurance). Standard stuff.
Presently, the US has even higher taxes than us by about 8%, France 45%, Germany
42%).

Considering Canada's size, a whole brunt of the taxes is poured straight into
the road and highway maintenance. Our big priority. And, man, are we ever proud
of it. Our roads are one of the best in the world. You have a choice of driving
over a million potholes and buying new tires all the time, or you can drive in
"luxury" over highways that are as smooth as a baby bum. Same with our
networking and telecomminication infrastructure. You want to live in a good and
healthy environment, it will cost you.

Or you get what you pay for.

I wouldn't mind paying high taxes if I was getting something in return (as you
are in Canada - btw, thats where I am now )).

You can always go back to Poland, you know.)

> Or you get what you pay for.

or in the uk THEY get what YOU pay for
... (politicians)

for example, we pay £40bn a year in road taxes and guess how much is spent on
roads? £6bn. Hmm, that's a LOT of champagne, power-yachts, Bentleys etc. etc...
