| Well, we have our provincial taxes, which evens it out to about 13%. | |

| Yeah, that's the standard tax... depending on what city you're in. Some of them even go up to 10.25% | |

| I don't know about the US, but in Canada there are two taxes: the federal one (GST) and provincial one (PST). Some provinces don't have PST, but Ontario's is at 8%.
So that plus the 5% GST makes it a hefty 13%
The good news is that GST doesn't apply on "essential goods" (like food) if it's under $4. Which is why there are a lot of $3.99 stuff around. | |

| Ooh, la la...
I think tax plays a big part here, seeing how it contributes to over 90% of government spending... but I think I need to read up more on it! | |

| Whaa... I don't wanna see Tai hurting Davis. =(
And Imouto! How could you possibly talk bad about the Governator?! lol, I suppose Arnold's status kinda loses it's appeal when he's the one making your political decisions, huh? | |

| What? Yes you do! Everyone wants to see Davis get, what is it... "a hurt real bad" or something like that. He's a douche who's screwed us into an even bigger whole that we already were in. | |

| Actually, Tai was referring to Kari. He was trying to imitate his parents, I think. | |
