Well I guess the old adage is true, the only things certain in life are death and taxes.  In Ontario and BC, the new harmonized sales tax will actually hit both of those on the head.  Funeral arrangements will be going up in cost as of July 1st.  Every article I read, the viewpoint differs on whether this tax is good or bad for the common person.   Some say our overall costs will go down, but when I read that daily items are going to be taxed an additional 8%, I am troubled to see the good in this for someone that consumes, goes out, plays some golf, has a drink or too, and overall tries to get ahead in life.  And then, you have companies that try and operate nationally and now they have to endure two books.  Mr. Company, did you repair your shoes in BC or Ontario??  That will be an interesting debate…If we are one country, can we not come to some agreement on a harmonized tax?   Shouldn’t there be some harmony in harmonization?  I really believe that consumption tax is the best form of tax (if there has to be one)…kind of like death by school bus (if you have to go, might as well go quick).  The issue is that no matter how much we are taxed, we seem to continually read about the misappropriation of those hard earned tax dollars.  We should really consider mandating government to be run like all companies have to run…accountable!  Enjoy…
