Whoops. Forgot you're in canada. Maybe the rules are diff. In the US, that's cheating. (nm) - musubi May 7, 08:31 4
- everyone cheats on their taxes. it's your patriotic duty as an american -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:32 3
  - I don't. I think my tax preparer is amazed that I'm not trying to cheat. (nm) - musubi May 7, 08:34 2
    - But that's more cuz you're a USC fan than anything else. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 08:34 1
      - Well, he *did* go to UCLA. Hmmmm. Maybe I better go re-check his numbers.... (nm) - musubi May 7, 08:36
Also, this is canada. The revenue agency doesn't assume you're a criminal by default, like the IRS does. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:30 6

  - Oh, I didn't mean criminal in the legal sense, I meant it in the strike-fear-into-the-heart sense. - Beryllium May 7, 08:39 4
    - Heh - that perception probably has more to do with the different levels of trust Canadians and Americans have in government -- nm - Roger More May 7, 08:42 3
      - Perhaps, but the American system seems positively byzantine and impenetrable from an outside perspective. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:47 2
        
        The Canadian system seems byzantine and impentrable from my personal perspective. I have to fill out forms for federal *and* provincial taxes? WTF? - Roger More May 7, 08:52 1
        
        you have to fill out forms for federal and state, IIRC, in the US - so that much is similar, at least. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:04
maybe it's different in Canada? -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 08:30
