At what point is it enough though? The Alberta government already takes in more per capita than either Saskatchewan or BC from my brief look into things. So at what point is it just easier to raise taxes than to find alternative solutions and make tough decisions?

Frankly you've created your own little paradigm that income shouldn't be taxed twice for no other reason than to support your previously held position. Taxes are doubled up all the time. It's not some state of nature by which income can only be taxed once.

Maybe I'm the only one irritated, and maybe I'm in the extreme minority who feel that way (I doubt it), but that's fine. Just because the majority is with you or against you doesn't make you right.
