 Don't forget the hidden taxes. Money you pay for taxes goes to pay for 
 people injured on the job. That's right! 
 Workers Comp downloads their responsibilities to Welfare and Canada Pension. 
 When a worker gets injured Workers Comp is supposed to get him/her back to 
 work. If he/she can't do the job because the injuries were so severe as to 
 disable him/her permanently they are supposed to retrain him/her or give 
 them a pension which approximates the injured workers pre injury earnings. 
 That is what is supposed to be done but it doesn't happen. Instead the 
 Workers Comp ignores doctors reports, and many other crimes. 
 The result is severely injured workers have to rely on welfare and Canada 
 Pension and it is YOU who pays for that. Funny how an insurance company like 
 Workers Comp can do that isn't it? 
 If you don't believe me, I just got the statistics from Welfare that 75 
 people in Newfoundland and Labrador as of November 2005 are getting some 
 small amount of Workers Comp payments and some Welfare to top them up so 
 they can eat. 
 That doesn't count the ones that have to go on Canada Pension Plan 
 Disability payments. There may be more of them. 
 My advice is to get some private disability insurance and hope that if you 
 get seriously injured one of them might pay what they are supposed too. But 
 don't rely on Workers comp. If you are one of the 70% that have minor 
 injuries that don't disable you for life you will most likely get treated 
 very well. But, if you are among the group of permanently disabled you can 
 only expect a very long and depressing fight to get your due and just 
 benefits. That is because they want to keep costs down for employers. Yet 
 every Workers Comp board in Canada has millions and billions in these 
 injured workers funds but don't give it out. Many of the hierarchy of the 
 workers comp are making double the salary of the regular public. Again that 
 is money that is supposed to go to injured workers. Businesses should 
 investigate to see where their money is really going. It is not to injured 
 workers that's for sure. 
 As for the taxpayers, now that you know the truth, why aren't you demanding 
 from the Government an investigation into wrongdoing by workers comp. You 
 are paying people that should be the responsibility of the workers comp. 
 Oh, and don't forget the health costs. Workers Comp is supposed to reimburse 
 the system for health care costs, but as they deny benefits and deny 
 justice, the injured worker is left to fend for him/herself and any more 
 health care is again downloaded onto the health care system which YOU pay 
 for! 
 To put it bluntly Workers Comp is the most corrupt system in Canada at the 
 moment. And YOU the taxpayer is being ripped off by them every day, 365 days 
 a year, because the taxes YOU pay into CPP, welfare, and for health care is 
 being robbed by Workers Comp. They rob it by denying benefits to seriously 
 injured workers and then those other taxpayer paid social programs are 
 availed of by the injured worker. 
 So to Mister and Ms. Taxpayer, if you don't open your mouth and ask why this 
 is happening you will continue to pay this hidden tax.
