No exemptions for food and used clothing. NONE! There will be legions of lawyers and lobbyists redefining food and used duds (if 20+ percent of upholstery in Buicks is determined to be made from recycled fabric, yada, yada, yada).

The poor need to know the road they drive on, past the fire department, etc. must be paid for. This is a MAJOR flaw in all public assistance programs. Beneficiaries have no clue re. the fact that free stuff ain't "free". I would demand that the first check every year include a demand that $100 be taken to the tax office and given back (just a little reminder to recipient). Otherwise no further checks of any kind, for any reason.

Good pts. about Canadian GST. After all the BS that goes into collecting and accounting, the offshore consumer gets rebate. Stupid.
