In an ideal world, the amount of taxes you pay would be in sync with how well your government is run and how well they're managing finances, supplying services, and running the province/state/country you're in. In that ideal world, if they're a good government and not crooked, then I'd happily pay the level of taxes set and wouldn't think twice about it.
But unfortunately in our reality, many think that the government of their province/state/country is not running things as best it can and so feel like taxes just go to fund corruption/unions/over-spending/etc. and do what they can to pay as little taxes as possible.
I don't think Alberta is or has been run well for a long time so I don't really blame people for trying to get as creative as possible with their tax burden. There's a lot of fat that could be trimmed in this province that would likely result in less taxation.
Anyways, just rambling.
