All while Canada's politicians collect huge paychecks, perks and
golden pensions. Most for doing NOTHING AT ALL. BTW, I agree with what
you pointed out above...people have also become really stupid in that
they IDOLIZE millionaire actors, actresses, and more recently SPORT
ENTERTAINMENT FIGURES. Sure, they work and give to charities BUT what
most people do not realize is that it is a huge tax deduction for
them. If they did it out of the goodness of their hearts then maybe I
would feel differently but deducting it makes me sick.
