Actually if you change the GST to HST, which in turn is an increased all inclusive taxation system in which everything now has an additional flat rate of 12% instead of the now old and outdated 5% which we of course saw with the soon defunct GST. Add this to the hidden taxes in everything from food to gas to to cigarrettes to liquor and you have a recipe for money. Now tax an average of 30% right off the top off all working class income before they get a red cent, take that money and squander it, and you have yourself a 21st century governing system. Don't forget to hand money out in bunches to the non working class, as for whatever reason they didn't feel like playing the game anyways.
Ok wait, are we talking about Canada or Warband?
