Hehe, I'm a member of that group Andrew... in all seriousness though, you are right. You've busted a nut to get where you are today, nothing has been handed to you and you are doing well for yourself (deservedly so) but it still seems as if because of all this hard work you are being penalised so to speak by the government for actually having a work ethic and getting off your ass to better your lot in life.
While I haven't gone to uni for 3 years (I did do one full year) I dropped out and did 4 years of trade school and have been very lucky to have an awesome boss who has entrusted his legacy (business) upon me. Sure, that part came easy to me, but I work 6, often 7 day weeks, 10-12 hour days (between work and setting up for other jobs) Only problem is, it all seems in vain, sure I have nice toys, good prospects but it really hurts when you see a great portion of your money pissed away in taxes.
I have lots to say on this matter, too much to post here and I don't really feel like going into it and boring those who don't want to listen. Those who agree with me know how I feel and why I feel it...
