I believe you have a wholly wrong take on what a tax system is. Taxes are not payment for services received. I agree, I also have not received as many benefits as I have paid. For example, at my home in the US I do not get municipal or state or federal services such as water, sewer, garbage collection, public transportation, a public library, or police protection to name a few. But I choose to live here and I pay every penny of taxes owed and possibly more because I do not seek potentially shady loopholes. What interests me is why you are so angry with your native country. It seems unusual in one so young to be that bitter. Don't you find Canada a more fair, democratic and just place to live than many? And why do you think you have the right to determine what taxes you will pay? Does that also pertain to all? Seems the system would collapse under that idea!
