Whil I agree that they should tax high on smokes and alcohol (too many people getting wasted and causing lung cancer around here) I find that tax on other things is unfair.
Funny how when you buy a new car or a house you gotta pay taxes, then when you sell it again the government wants taxes again!
Whatta joke with the first home buyer's grant, they give you $10 K to buy a first home, then they charge you $14 K in fees... greedy pricks.
