Crazy World of Taxes in Ontario

We pay tax after tax and where does it go does anyone really now
We pay Municipal Taxes, Provinvial Taxes, Federal Taxes, Gas Tax, Road Tax, Tire Tax; and then we have the emissions test money grab.

The following government set explains the taxes http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/en/tax/index.html
but what I would love to know is how can we make our elected officials accountable for the tax collected and get services that benefit people as a whole instead of the pockets of politicians.

The one thing that drives me nuts is the purpose of taxes and no clear cut agenda or breakdown where it goes a business needs to be accountable to its stake holders for every penny.  The government should be the same and so should the politicians.  As Oscar Leroy says in Corner Gas "I pay your salary" when taking to the cops how true this is even for politicians.  We pay there salary and what do the really do for us other than pad there own pockets.  We also pay the civil servants and the bureaucracy of red tape that makes it harder and harder to get what is needed.

Gas Tax
Gas tax rates as of 1992 the only info on the government of Ontario site i find this hard to believe that Gas tax hasn't changed since 1992 http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/en/tax/gt/rates.html

• Unleaded gasoline - 14.7¢ per litre

The new Beer and Wine Tax - 
from the government of Ontario website http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/en/tax/bwt/index.html

Ontario is making changes that will affect Ontario's beer and wine industries.
Effective July 1, 2010, certain manufacturers' fees currently paid to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) by breweries, microbreweries and wineries will be replaced with beer and wine taxes. These taxes will be administered by the Ministry of Revenue.
Ontario beer, wine and wine cooler manufacturers will collect beer and wine taxes and remit them to the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, existing ministry practices will be applied as appropriate.
Purchasers of beer, wine and wine coolers from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) and consumers that make their own beer, wine and wine coolers will not be subject to the taxes.

I highly doubt that we the purchasers won't see any change do to this.   The suppliers will find a way to pass this on to us causing for increases at the hands of our greedy politicians.

We need to stop this lets make the politicians accountable as well as the beauracracy that is supposed to help us
I hope this little break down helps as i am sure like me you are just as frustrated this lack of fiscal responsibility is also at the Municipal level
