Holy crap!!!! 17%!!!! I'd be wanting to attend that council meeting.
I found this tool (Canadian only, sorry) that shows how much of my year I work for the government. I work for them for 170 days of the year, my personal tax freedom day is coming up on June 18th, then I can actually start making my own money..... *sigh*. If I was in Quebec, it'd be July 2nd. Hmmm, maybe I should move to Alberta. I'd pay about $8k less in taxes there......

That is a cool tool.
You know what I find interesting, is we actually pay far more in taxes now than our forefathers did back in the 1700s...more than the taxes that led to The Boston Tea Party and The American Revolution.
