You misunderstood me because you didn't read what I wrote carefully but I don't care to convince you of your biases. I don't have time for this BS anymore.
Listen my neighbour just died. He was a struggling renter. I'm deeply saddened by this and everybody struggling. I know its even harder to leave behind what's familiar but it's not going to get better but the longer you stay in a financially strapped situation and waiting for a bailout from the government the more you suffer. This is why I'm telling people to forget about this miserable city and look elsewhere as I am.
The Canadian government is taking 60% of my income. Why isn't it being used to alleviate this situation?! My sadness is turning into anger and disappointment.
That's for federal income tax. In BC the top provincial income tax bracket is 20.5%, so a total 53.5%. I assume the person is also including property tax, EI, MSP premiums or other vaguely government related payments, or rounding up pretty generously to get to 60%.
