VCIMessenger 于 2017-10-23 11:28 写道: www.nsnews.com/opinion...1.23070745 The above editorial seems to insinuate that some West Vancouver residents are hiding income to avoid paying taxes while possessing great wealth. Unlike a well-known Vancouver newspaper which has blatantly blamed the Chinese and drawn all kinds of loose and offensive conclusions and associations about Chinese tax evasion, casino money laundering, corruption, drugs, terrorism and other crimes, you were careful not to mention the word “Chinese” in your editorial. However, you did mention the common link of West Vancouver with Richmond where there is high percentage of Chinese Canadian population and where there are many low-income households in spite of the presence of many multimillion-dollar homes. I am a first-generation Chinese Canadian who purchased our West Vancouver home decades ago at a modest price. After pursuing higher education in order to become a model immigrant, I managed to earn an above-average income and pay high taxes until recently. In the last year I have taken up a part-time job. I have a high equity home, the value of which has appreciated a lot over the years while my income taxes for this year will be low. I fit your description of “low income working age people,” a West Vancouverite with “high net worth,” but I am certainly not a tax cheat. Then there are the immigrants who have collectively saved and accumulated for two to three generations so that they can afford to purchase high value real estate properties. They might still be the same low income taxpayers although they appear well off from the surface. You must realize that most new immigrants initially cannot get high-paying jobs, and pay high taxes due to discrimination and unfamiliarity in the Canadian job market. Much has also been said about the dubious ownership of expensive real estate by immigrant “foreign” housewives and students. However, the largesse that they have bestowed on the local economy has more than made up for the allegedly dishonest low income taxes they pay for now. They have transferred great wealth by paying the local widowed Mrs. Smiths ridiculously high prices for their houses. They have also paid high property taxes and large amounts of GST and PST on constructions, renovations, vehicle, household and other purchases. These taxes combined can easily surpass the average income and other taxes paid by an average Canadian family. You also have to give these new immigrants a chance: for their children to finish their education so that they can earn professional incomes and pay high taxes in the future, and for their heads of households still in the process of trying to move their businesses and safeguard their hard-earned wealth from an unpredictable communist government that can readily slap “corrupt” charges on citizens who question its authority. As a first-generation immigrant I have experienced my share of prejudices. My frugal grandpa, a head-tax payer, came to Canada to work hard to save up for the family. He later helped my parents purchase a new Vancouver Special in the late ’60s when we arrived here. Some neighbours raised unkind suspicions about how our family could afford a brand new house. They alleged that we probably were running drugs. How else could these newly arrived Chinese immigrants upstage them by owning a newer house next door? Now, decades later, nothing has changed. The new crop of immigrants (especially the Chinese) have been accused of misdeeds due to their wealth, although they might still be low income for a long time to come. Elaine Tsang West Vancouver |

She forgot to mention how those low earners manage to get all those cars beside mansions while being sooo poor and “tax honest”." vancouvercondo.info/20...ent-310090 傲慢的蝗虫真有神经，张贴这样的胡说，可能认为人们迟钝，所以现在她要解释一切如何工作。 她忘了提到这些低收入者如何设法把所有这些汽车都放在豪宅旁边，难道真很穷，“诚实”。 |

The rich contribute to the economy by acquiring luxury goods. Elaine, you are shameful and your reasoning is intrinsically dishonest. When in doubt, play the race card." vancouvercondo.info/20...ent-310096 我不敢相信她有勇气把它写在书面上。 那封信总结到2017年温哥华社会所有错误。 税是为小人。 富人通过收购奢侈品为经济做出贡献。 Elaine，你是可耻的，你的推理本质上是不诚实的。 当有疑问时，玩种族主义卡。 |

Elaine, you are not only wrong. You are insulting your fellow Canadian citizens. Shame on you." vancouvercondo.info/20...ent-310095 如果你买昂贵的汽车和房地产，她是否可以逃税？ 这个东西真的让你的胃转了。 Elaine，你不仅错了， 你正在侮辱你的加拿大公民。 你太无耻了。 |

Worst type of immigrant." vancouvercondo.info/20...ent-310097 她可能拥有加拿大公民身份，但她不是加拿大人。 永远是永远是中国人，对我们国家没有忠诚。 最差的移民类型 |

They f**king consistently demonstrate the same twisted pathology about their understanding of western democracy and socio-economic norms and yet trying to teach us a lesson every time. What a f**king bunch of weirdos and yet we tolerate all of them and their shit a big time here in BC." vancouvercondo.info/20...ent-310130 那个蝗虫哲学家Elaine在他关于富裕的中国大陆人以及他在加拿大的权利和义务的背景下，实际上讲的是同样的狗屎。 他们******一贯表现出与他们对西方民主和社会经济规范的理解相同的扭曲病态，但是每次都试图教给我们一个教训。 那么******一群怪兽，但我们容忍所有的人，他们的狗屎在BC这个大时间。 |
