To the Editor:
I would like to extend a bouquet to the investigative reporters at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) for exposing the extent of tax avoidance and evasion in Canada. It is my hope that the CBC exposure will result in a public clamor that spurs the Harper government into action.
The very rich should not be allowed to have their way with politicians, and, by extension, the general public. If that lost revenue were to be recovered, it would go a long way toward paying for social services and infrastructure renewal, and reducing or eliminating the deficit. Politicians are fond of telling us to "tighten our belts," while they allow the very wealthy to use tax havens and loopholes to get away without paying their fair share of taxes.
