Tax freedom day prompts calls for social program cuts
A Canadian view argues for drastic federal spending curbs as taxes erode middle class income. It notes Fraser Institute figures showing tax load rising from 1961 to today, with 61.9 percent tax rate on average family income and escalating surtaxes. The piece warns debt service may swallow half of all tax revenue within a decade, urging Ottawa to cut social spending and curb borrowing to avert an economic crisis. It references U S budget cuts and urges public action through MPs.
