Low income people are taxed but then they get all the income tax and contributions back at tax time.
Low income also get GST rebates, and if kids they get a higher child tax credit every month.

I think the Federal government should introduce a flat tax of 15 percent or even 20 percent. Whatever the number is. 15 percent of a low income is nothing to complain about. Maybe if all those people who worked for "cash" would start paying income tax, all Canadians could get a lower rate.
Lastly, why is it that single Canadians are taxed higher than married Canadians. We don't all chose to be single and should continue to be punished for it.
