That oid adage came to mind recently wben a report crossed my desk indi- cating Canadians are paying more money in taxes than they are for food, clothing and housing combmned., In fact, the report by the Fraser Institute caiculated we pay a staggering 41 percent of average family income te gov- ernxents. A sample famijly earning $29,000 per year pays $12,000 in -taxes. Heres where the money goes. Income tax payments would total $4,000. There's another $1 ,700 for social security, pen- sions and hospital and medical care. About $1 ,700 goes ta gov- ertnents for provincial andi federal sales taxes. Property taxes cost $1,200. The family pays another $1,800 for its share of corpora- tion andi natural resource taxes, which are necessarily included in the cost of the endi products we buy. lmport duties cost the family $500, there's $400 for auto andi fuel taxes, and $300 for other minor items. If that's not depressing enough, taxes on liquor, tabac- INOTICE NOTICE The Orono Senior Citizens wiil meet on Thursday, May 6th at 7:30 P.M. in the Odd- fellow's Hall.. Everyone Weicome. 28,a.c.

One probable reason for the apathy? Many of the taxes are hiâden. Few people understood how much provincial and federal tax there was on gasoline, for example, until the oil companies starteti posting the govern- ments' takes on pumps. In the saine way, the federai manu- facturers sales tax of 9 percent or more is covered up. Cana- dians fully understand provin- cial sales tax (except in Alberta where there is none), because it's added to the final bll. But the federal tax is chargeti when the product leaves the manufacturer's door. And in the case of caskets, we end up paying a hefty tax bill, even aliter wie die. Many other hidden taxes are ini the sainie category. The real question for Cana- dians, though, is not necessarily the high taxes we are paying. Instead, we should bc asking whether people are getting real value for the money. In a lot of cases, the answer would be a hearty no, but that's another colunu.
