Welcome to the new year

Babble on.

On Friday of this week, I get my first paycheque of 2005. I was wondering what my tax bill would look like for the year.

Thanks to Jason Hayes for pointing me via e-mail to this tax calculator at The Fraser Institute.

Punching in the numbers...waiting...ugh. The calculator estimates almost 48% of my income goes to various levels of government. They're kidding, right?

*sigh*

Am I allowed to start campaigning for the Conservatives right away, or do I have to wait until the election's called?

Babble off.
