    So apparently money grows on trees according to our mayor…who knew?!

    If Mayor Rob Ford does not use it, he does not support paying taxes for it. Does not use the libraries, no reason to support it with taxes, as an example.

    The details of his nefarious plot become clear: by ceasing to tax the taxpayer, the taxpayer will cease to be!

    tl;dr — Rob Ford is a dangerous nihilist.

    I don’t think he thought that (or anything else) through.

    That book of his quotes is going to need a second version.

    When is a taxpayer not a taxpayer?

    Perhaps he’s confusing taxiing with taxing? Has he been on an airplane recently?

    There are no words that quite capture the idiocy of this comment. None.

    Sweet, I love Toronto. I am no longer a Taxpayer.

    You people are not reading between the lines. I, for one, support what appears to be Mayor Ford’s brilliant new initiative of taxing the tax-defferers and tax-avoiders. Bravo, sir. As a taxpayer I welcome the relief.
