Do you know where your tax dollars go?

“Yes we do. Our tax dollars support our social programs and our day-to-day society.” — S. Russell

“Yes, not where the government promised. It is being spent on highways we do not need, and we send too much money to other countries, when we need food, housing, senior care right here.” — B. Addley

“Some of them. I know a lot of our tax dollars go to health care and education, yet these public systems are in a sad state.” — K. Bustmante

“No. I would appreciate you telling me.” — T. Davies

“It’s easy to complain about taxes and say we don’t know where they go. I don’t like paying tax as much as everyone else, but I also see that we have pretty good roads, free healthcare (for now), fire stations, low crime, pretty parks, and social services to support those in need.” — M. Renfrew

“Who actually does?” — L. Chong

“I have a fair idea, but I don’t like it—ongoing fossil fuel support, far too much consultation costs, too much administration costs in health care and education, not enough accountability within transfer payment agencies, lifetime pensions for senators. I do like that my tax dollars are contributing to social assistance, mental health, affordable housing, etc.” — K. Madden
