can least afford it It Ontario imposes income tax it should end sales tax In sales tax produced about Provincial income lax collected by Ottawa was 33 Ontario collected about per head from income tax and per head from sales tax At 1969 rates a married man with a wife and two children earning weekly paid about per year in Provincial Income tax or about per cent of his Income He paid per cent sales tax on what he bought subject to exemptions a higher percentage In sales tax than in Income tax The little man pays the same per cent aa the millionaire and must spend a higher proportion of his income Just to survive Income tax is at least and ranges from nothing on incomes under with higher percentages on higher Incomes This in fairer than sales tax Sales tax Is awkward to collect Thousands of storekeepers are forced to be underpaid revenuers and collection costs run about 3 percent Meanwhile Federal machinery for collecting Income tax exists By simply Increasing the Provincial Income tax collected Ontario con raise the extra revenue needed at no extra collection cost- Quebec Manitoba and Saskatchewan now do this Why not Ontario Some provinces without big corporations and high Incomes within their boundaries must rely on sales taxes on the little man but not prosperous industrial wealthy Ontario No one enjoys paying taxes but if taxes are to be levied they should be fair
