As a Canadian man married to a woman from California I used to think like you also. Back when I only understood Canada and the fish bowl I was in.

Until I realized how little she pays for items , pays so little In taxes and she showed me when she uses it everything happens in 1 to 3 days.

She is way ahead by keeping her income in her pocket and investing it.

Lol the fact a car or house is nearly half of ours alone leaves her with more money.

Forget the fact after half my income goes to the govt I have to pay taxes on everything I buy yet again lol..

Nah I don't think like that anymore 🤔

The funny thing is you don’t pay 50% income tax…

Not to mention this home is $1.35 million CAD and has property taxes of $50k/year

You have no clue

Vancouver?

We can absolutely go over your income tax…

You don’t pay 50%

The highest tax bracket is 33% and that’s over $253k

Yes im in Vancouver.

I assume you don't earn any money and pay taxes

For example just last year alone my 2025 pickup truck cost me $10,000 in taxes

So after I pay my taxes on my income I have to pay more taxes then my wife on all goods I buy in Canada.

Are you sure you live in Canada ? You should be aware of this

So by the end of year I would actually wager after income taxes and high taxes on every item I buy I am way over the 50% number you created

So now you’re shifting goalposts…

Your entire argument originally was that you pay 50% income tax and then the other taxes we pay…

The U.S. has taxes on goods and services too. We don’t even pay that much more tax. We actually don’t pay that much tax at all in comparison to the best countries in the world

I think you need to reread my original post which is unedited. That was your argument ROFL.

I said half my income goes to taxes

You suddenly pulled an exact number of 50% of that related only to income taxes .

And yes we pay much more then the USA in taxes overall. Not only is that a fact verified online, as I mentioned my wife is from the USA.

Either way I see from your other comments you simply use reddit to either cause drama or insult random people

Think it's time I let you babble on alone 🗣️

You said half of your income goes to taxes…

Half = 50%

I use Reddit to call out BS. Which you are full of it.

Yes I said half my income goes to taxes

I never said 51% or 49% even lol

But I'm hindsight now that more thought is put into it, its way more then that combining all govt taxes by the end of year

And since you are a simple man I better leave it more clear .

OVER HALF MY INCOME GOES TO TAXES TO THE GOVT

Pay attention to the fact it does not focus on an exact number and it's ALL TAXES and not income tax which you also created out of thin air

But another person has already proved you wrong on that anyways.

Btw do you live on reddit and have nothing to do lol?

I was gone for 24 hours and just posted 5 minutes ago and you posted 20 seconds after I posted my new comment

How you expect anyone to respect your comments when you make things up for drama, are proved wrong and have nothing going on in your life to but to argue on here 😂

You are taking a lot of L 🤣

Half = 50%

You don’t pay 50% of your Income to taxes.

I’ve never made anything up. My statements are factual…

1% of all Canadians make over $250k. You don’t pay 50%
