Comment: Not sure why you're bringing in a GDP ratio comparison when the actual pinch in our pocketbook is the true indicator of how we're working more and more for the government and not ourselves.

If Tax Freedom Day for most in Newfoundland is usually around mid to late June that would suggest they're actually closer to the 45% to 50% tax rate.

The Canadian average Tax freedom day is June 9 this year suggesting our overall average tax rate is closer to 44%
