I didn't read the article but what you all have to realize is that I technically earn under $50K a year as well according to my T4/T5. I am a consultant, so I make alot more than that. I just keep money in my company and don't spend it. I invest with my company, etc.
Living off of 50K or less plus your significant others income is not that hard.
Why pay higher tax when you don't have to and it is perfectly legal?
If they looked at people who are self-employed across the country and are consultants/contractors than those numbers would be more balanced above the 100K mark.
