Everyone before me was right. MONEY or be increditably devious, either way you have to come up with the land.  2nd one has to stay in power.  As the entitle have shown the are entitled to some of what ever you have just because.

Do you consider a nice answer one that disagrees with you?\n\nI never saw so much property for rent in a large city as when I visited Toronto, until I went to Montreal.  Canada is not one of the richest nations in the world.  Its GDP is less than either Texas or California.\n\nWhen it comes to getting pills, sure Canada is great.  When it comes to getting surgery, Canadians flee to the states because the treatment end of Canadian medicine sucks.\n\nIf you consider that 45% of money earned in Canada is returned to the government in taxes, not counting any consumption taxes, as a fair tax, then we can never agree on "fair" taxes.\n\nI guess in America we recognize that rights are guaranteed by virtue of human existence, and that all rights come from God.  That is the crux of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  Canadians believe, according to your governmental documents, that rights are granted by the government.\n\nPlus. I still remember the fascist boot crunching your so called nice and free Canadian government did to the FLQ and other Quebecois.  You Canadians are free so long as the government lets you be free.  In America, we are free because we preserve our freedom with our guns, and can end our government any time as necessary to prevent tyranny.\n\nStill love mayo on my hot dogs, though.

They want our money and our jobs. Then they like to go home, and have the money that they got here, because they can be rich at home if they do menial tasks here and save up money for a few years.

You miss the point here. Liberals feel they have the right to tell everyone else what to do as well as telling everyone else they don't pay enough in taxes. However, do not DARE to tell a liberal what to do or to pay more taxes. That is simply not how their "system" "works". \n\nThis is typical. Just like all the Hollywood libs telling us to use less gas and buy more eco-friendly... then they jet off to NYC or Paris for 2 days in a private jet or drive their Hummers around town.\n\nTONAL: What is your point? It is stil PRIVATE property. The owner has the right to do whatever he wants with it when he wants. There is no contract on the property. These people are preventing a legal and free American Citizen from using his property as HE sees fit.

Making money for these two doesn't apply in the same sense that it does for the rest of us.\n\nThe both have very large trusts which generate very large amounts.

Well because Yankee tourists are so in your face, think they know everything and tell you what to do.   And like a lot of other Canadians we don't like their government, that kills millions of innocent people, threaten to pollute our Red River with one of their polluted rivers, we don't like the fact they are trying to build a wall against us-how neighbourly is that? Canadians don't believe they get any respect from the U.S. We feel like they are sneering at us just because we allow same sex marriage and for the most part marijuana is legal. Also we don't have the first Amendment that every one person is required to be armed to the teeth.

YOU SHOULD GET PAID NOT TAXED!\n\n\nThe Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person. \n\nIn 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments. \n\nAlaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production. \nSource(s):\n\nHoover Institution\n                                                                    Kuwait:\n\nDemocracy, Kuwait Style\n                                                                           Peter Berkowitz\n\n\n\nIt’s not that the woman question was the only issue faced by voters. From the owner and editor in chief of Kuwait’s largest newspaper, to the chief executive officer of Kuwait Petroleum Company, to the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, our interlocutors argued that the Kuwaiti economy is stagnating and that the remedy is privatization. This is a difficult proposition, however, in a country where 90 to 95 percent of the labor force is employed by the government, which generally pays more than the private sector. And designing institutions to create the right incentives will be difficult in a country whose oil wealth supports a massive welfare state with no taxes that generously funds its citizens’ health, education, and housing needs. \n\nIf Alaska pays\nKuwait pays even it’s indirectly after the gulf war losses\nDubai pays\nI’ve read Norway does something like this\nI’ve read Nigeria is working on a fund to pay the people also\n\nOil is just 1 of thousands of commodities.\n\nWith all the commodities in your state.\n\nWhy can’t your state pay you? \n\nWith the resources the feds can’t they pay 50 times what Alaska pays?\n\nThe dems and reps have all the power and all the control. \nShouldn’t they bear all the re

I assume you are in Canada. But you do not say which city is your home or the province in which you live. So this answer is general. Provincial governments can help cities with more funding for schools and improved security. Funding can be given for better roads and other infrasructure.\n\ncc

It's not their money they're bad with. It's ours. They're perfectly capable when it comes to their OWN money.

The government provides protection and services (think highways, police, etc) that contribute to our ability to earn money. It can generally be assumed that people earning money in this country are benefitting from these services, and thus taxes are levied upon them.

Yes   that is true, one of the basic human rights is the freedom to move,,,if there was no immigration, there would not be USA ,canada, nor Australia...Civilizationwise ,  the earth is inherited by  the human being,,no one said, which part, to which group of people, in the 60s  when we were more civilized ,there was a globle thought to have one language by the United nation,, anyway, why  is  it diffecult now to accept the idea, ?\nIn my opinion, because the shallow culture of the now people,and the failiar they face in their lives ,Everyone says ,instead of paying  welfare   money ,we should keep the money for us,, do u think , who say that will get anymoney , if their governments limit immigration, Instead of crying for this money, They should work more, one other problem, people are so shallow to stick to what they see as their Id , language and religions  which are culture of the skin , a very shallow culture owned by anyone who has nothing else,, \nI can not deny that , some immigrants are source of trouble,as they come to the new countries and do want to change the system of life  ,and do not accept the nature of the  people their, which is also stupid..\nall the people who have somemoney are afraid to lose this money for the new coming, \nas an exaple: do u think an arab from a poor arab country can immigate to a rich arab country?/ NO even they have commen language religion and tradition,,\nSo people protect the money which is actually even not their money,, the resources of the easrth was not created for certain people , just who came first got it,\nI see the world is retarding to when the tribes have terrotories and fight to keep them as primative human beings...To bad but we have to live with it\n(to prove what i am taking about ( it is not matter of religions tradition, or languages  ) , anyone who has considerably an amount of money can go to anywhere, the price list is known 400000 candaian dollar for canada, between 200k usd -1000kusd to America, Spain 60k euros,emarite 40k usd.....etc

There was a time in the mid 1960's where the Canadian dollar was worth $1.15 to the USA dollar and the economy was doing well then on both sides of the border.  In fact in most households where families was concern, the husband father was the only one employed.  There was no need for both spouses to be employed. Families had closer ties with each other.  There should be no reason for bias to begin with.

Great idea to invest in Canada!  Alberta is by far the best province for this type of investment, as it is going through an oil boom because of the tar sands.  This will last for 20-30 years!

Your rights are what governments want to give you on a day to day basis. Depends on how much money ya got.
