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
