In general, I am opposed to taxation, in particular income tax and property tax and most sales taxes as well. There is no income tax where I live and the sales tax is aroun 8%, compared to 14% in Canada. However, I would be willing to pay my fair share of a flat tax on income - about 1%. Go figure.
