^^ Agreed.
I have a cousin who's high up in the OPP... he's well-off.
I have a cousin who is a teacher, fairly young still... and she leases her cars every 2 years.
I have more distant relatives in the health sciences... they're not hurting. Neither are the others who are teachers as well.
Sorry, but my family is HUGE. It's like a cross-section of Canada. No one is hurting, even with 3-4 kids per family (grade school age).
Like I said, they may be overworked, but they're not underpaid. The solution? Roll back their wages 10-15% and hire more people at the entry level and go from there.
I'm comfortable paying the level of taxation that I am right now, but asking me to pay more is ridiculous. I work, I pay my taxes to pay the paycheques of civil servants. Hell, technically they're paying themselves in part. Do they want to pay a good deal more just to get a bit more? Probably not.
Hire more staff, freeze the wages seeing as I don't see many nurses standing on street corners begging for change, and then maybe we'll get somewhere.
Everytime a union official demands more concessions, a worker with a backbone has a heart attack. That's how tax increases are created.
