If you're on #ODSP and someone is giving you shit by saying "I'm a taxpayer, you're just . . . "
The total amount of provincial taxes that I pay (I make $70,000) that goes to a single person on ODSP is $0.0003. Feel free to value their opinion as such.
I pay roughly $4000 in provincial income tax.
Ontario's total expenses is $180,000,000,000.
ODSP is $15,000 per recipient
15,000 x 4,000 / 180,000,000,000 = 0.0003
$0.0003 * 550,000 = $165 for the entire ODSP payouts provincially. That's about 2 weeks of my taxes.
The same math can be applied to civil servants. For instance I pay $0.0008 cents of a #cupe workers annual salary.
Well this blew up
1). I'm on mastadon, @perth@mstdn.ca. It will probably mirror my twitter over time.
2). #ODSP people, drop your wish lists. I can't promise the world, but I'll keep them in mind for the future. Verfiy you're on ODSP be telling me how many times you ate today
Alright, muting this thread because I'm hyperfocusing on it. I got studying and cooking to do today.
