there shouldnt be a tax on your paycheck. we pay tax on everything we purchase so by taxing the paycheck then taxing what we pay after we get our check we pay more in taxes then we receive .

Lower income tax on the middle and lower class raise income tax on people who make more than a million and raise income tax on billion and million dollar corporations, abolish all tax loopholes for the rich and corporations.

No, Canada should not raise taxes on the rich because they worked hard to get that money and to be wealthy.
