Canadians to get hit with higher taxes. Will the right complain? Nah.

Their American counterparts screech about taxes, demanding cuts every second breath. A Tea Party was even created to put a megaphone to their cries. Meanwhile, here at home the Conservatives are about to quietly raise payroll and income taxes for virtually every Canadian, as much as almost three percent. As usual, British Columbians and Ontarians are to be hit he hardest.

And what do our own tea baggin Conwipes do? Scream, yell and whine? Nope. Harper's their leader and he's Conservative just like them. So's taxes are a good thing in Canada, breaking momentarily from their buddies across the border.

See, ya need to pay for big shiny jets and guns, hold extravagant summits, provide payola to journos, build new jails for invisible criminals and hire new cops to stomp out marijuana and sex. But the government's gonna blame the raises on the socialist pension plan and commie unemployment insurance.

If you're going to hear any screaming about the taxes, it won't be because of the obvious reasons - it'll be because of socialism. And it won't be aimed at the real culprits - Conservatives. It never is.

UPDATE: Of course, meanwhile, CORPORATIONS ARE IMMUNE TO THE NEW TAXES! But you and I, average hard-working Canadians without tax lawyers who drive Bentleys and fuck $3,000 a night prostitutes, are the ones who are truly being screwed.

But, let's be philosophical. That's the Conservative way and who are we to argue? We let it happen and now we admire the shine on their shoes. It's the modern Canadian way. Just like the old American way. Welcome to Ford country.
