Just as I posted the VOD= Video On Demand here on my blog the TV VOD posted their video or VOD is now renting their movies for $5.00 and $7.00 each. Imagine $5/video aside from paying a monthly TV connection which is worth more that hundred dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH! Yes I have the right to complain just like anybody else here on earth. Look at Mr. Vander Zalm who protested on about the HST. The HST was lowered already to 14% from its first announcement of every item sold in Canada you have to pay $17% HST. Now the government has implemented a hair-splitting question about HST just to find out if the voters understand the HST. HST= PST & GST combination. The problem is the richest province don't pay PST before. With the combined PST & GST = HST the richest province occupants or residents whether residents or citizen or tourists will have to pay both. You know what I'm thinking? Canada is just like the Philippines during the Spanish regime. The revolutionarists hate paying taxes to Spain and when the taxes were abolished, they have to pay tax to the Americans. When the Americans gave their consent of independence, only the rich people paid their tax but they paid their workers so little too late that too many end up in poverty, most of all they don't have the needed health care and benefits that they deserved from the government. We don't pay tax fro every merchandise or service in the Philippines which is so true but do you receive the benefits that you deserved as a loyal citizen? If the HST will be abolished in Canada, the same thing will happen here, Canada wont be able to afford health care for millions of its residents. Then another whisper I heard the HST is not intended for health care for there is a budget allocated for it. Duh! True. But if your country has been devastated by war, flood, famine, forest fire, and other environmental hazards the budget intended for education, welfare of its own citizen and permanent residents, defense or the armed forces and other various agency of the government will soon expire and there'll be no more budget to see but Budget the truck that will tow everything away. Sad eh? But here is my point when tax is too much. A tax is way too much is when the product is already OVER PRICED and to add tax to it is a burden. Imagine you want a vehicle like for instance a car or van or a truck that you can drive to work, the vehicle cost is $20,000 +12% HST ? = $22, 400. The HST is $2,400 with this amount of money you can purchase a 2nd hand car. Or you can use it to stock at least 3 months of food supply for your family. That's what some people are furious about. Then you want to buy a house, the same process the HST is what some would be house buyer is adamant or hesitant to own any. The HST is too much a stake of a risk for would be buyers of house, vehicle, and other machines, tools and what else your money could buy nowadays?
As a customer, a frequent buyer of anything Canadian product or services we all should vote to lower the HST to just right amount that everyone could afford. 12 % HST is a NO. 10% NO. 6% YES.
PST = 3% GST= 3% I think that's a breath of fresh air.
