earnings limit: They could have given me the $500 less the amount by which I exceeded the limit, but no, they grabbed it all, according to Toronto Star. This is the sneaky means by which governments disallow our entitlements as inflation moves our incomes up above the fixed levels prescribed in the regulations. When I filed for 2014 last year, I missed out on the $500 allowance seniors get from the province toward their realty taxes, because I exceeded the earnings limit by some $200. Bracket creep is a nasty, devious way of balancing the budget on the backs of us seniors, and I think it is disgusting. Jeff Goodall, Oshawa Premier Kathleen Wynne is reconsidering her proposal to increase the amount from $100 to $170 that seniors would have to pay before being able to qualify for free drugs. It affects many things beside drug costs, and requires legislation to automatically move all prescribed income levels upwards every year, according to the previous year rate of inflation.
