This Pat Reid guy is an idiot. If the federal government takes 15% of everyone's winnings, the handle, especially on Sport Select, will drop so much that the combined provincial and federal governments will make less money than they do now.
And as far as his claim that "it targets exactly those who should be targeted. The real rich. And who's going to object to that?", obviously this bonehead is not aware that most Sport Select winners are not "real rich". >Check this article out about a proposed withholding tax on lottery wins. This will make it alot harder to win on sport select if it becomes law. > >http://www.ottawacitizen.com/national/991107/3110956.html |
