Taxes are a burden

Taxes keep rising based on anticipated needs. When will brakes be put on? We have no additional cash available to feed political ambitions. We do not have incomes well in excess of $100,000 per year. With politicians being paid huge salaries, you seem to forget who you represent and their cash flexibility.

What other tax options are going to be introduced? There is no end.

We pay TransLink on our property tax assessment. TransLink is already taking huge taxes on gasoline, and now, the mayors want to give them more of our money again by further taxing gasoline.

We want to spend our resources the way we want to. Enough of this taxing empire. This is legal poaching.
