I was raised to be a good little socialist, so I have no problem with taxation per se, as long as the process is transparent and I can see exactly where my money is going. I also have a fairly strong sense of what's equitable, and the fact that our current government keeps coming back for more on my measly little paycheque is more than a little aggravating. There are many, many people in this country who can better afford to have their accound "revised" three times a year.
I sent in my tax statement like a good little citizen back in March. My taxes are *not* complicated. I get one paycheque once a week, always from the same source. My taxes are *already* withheld at source, and yet the freaking government doesn't seem to think that that's enough.

Grah! I am seriously unamused by this.
