Do you remember that song by Andrea True Connection ? More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it ?
How do you like your love ?
That was the golden age of disco. A lighter, happier time. Perhaps as a result of drugs, but I think not. It was the carefree age - few worries.
Today, what does More More More stand for ? It stands for pay more, more, more. Nothing to do with love.
Tomorrow we will be told of the plan to harmonize the PST & GST. For those of you reading my blog outside of Canada, the PST is the Provincial Sales Tax and the GST is the Goods and Services Tax.
This notification comes a day after we are told that there will be no cost of living increase (raise) and there will be no one time bonus for meeting our goals for 2008.
It is really quite disheartening to be hit so hard. It is not that I am alone in this and I recognize that this is not happening just to me. But on one income, with aging dogs, vet bills, increase in property taxes, increase in water bills, driver's license tax, it goes on and on and can become just a slightly overwhelming.
The governemnt has said that to assist those of us making less than $ 160K per year they will forward a payment of $1,000 in 3 installments over a calendar year. It is not indicated if this is a one shot deal or will be ongoing. The intent of this is to help the economy and encourage us to keep on spending.
Oh well, what can be done ? Not much I think.
So I'm off to throw on a extended remix, close my eyes and listen to Andrea True Connection and remember those carefree disco days, when MORE MORE MORE meant love and not taxes.
Enjoy a little Andrea. Enjoy a little disco.
And so it goes.
"remember those carefree disco days, when MORE MORE MORE meant love and not taxes."
