Captain Morgan do you realize if you actually used a marks based system, that is if you
averaged a B or C+ or whatever the bench mark would be. Government could in fact
pay post secondary education tuition as long as the student maintained the grade
average. If they student did not they paid the next year themselves.
When the student finished there could be a program where they work for government
or a private enterprise mentor company for a period of time as say 70% of their wage.
The amount of repayment would be in accordance with the amount spent to educate
the graduate. That way society would receive some benefit and we would have young
people ready for the workforce without a mountain of debt
Oh and if you drop out your get a bill for all that was invested in you payable to the
government of Canada.
Now this is an idea probably needs some amendments to be sure but in some fashion
it can be done. We have to find new way to solve some serious problems and whining
about who is going to pay is as old as the nineteenth century.

There you go.. Turn our schools into made in Canada Factory's
Bet the kids would learn way more actually producing something then what they learn ATM
While I see the merit in the program you suggest, I believe it's fair to say that the students would simply be trading 'who' they would owe the obligation to rather than really solve the issue of student indebtedness.
At the end of the day, where the money will be coming from is the biggest question on the radar... There is an excellent reason that this issue is 'as old as the nineteenth century'. Let me ask you a hypothetical question: If the BC gvt made the decision to increase provincial income taxes 15%-20% in order to fund 100% of post secondary, build more schools, more professors, etc - would you support that move? What would you speculate the reaction of the general public in BC to be?
Flipping the coin on this, what would the students think knowing that the tax bill they face in coming years would be greatly increased?
Sad to say, but our society revolves around money, or more accurately, the provision of something of value in exchange for something else of value. It doesn't matter if the 'something' is hard currency or sweat equity, that trade-off will exist in one form or another.
Most of them. The idea is to spin as much as possible into tax free or lower taxed money. That is why we pay accountants and tax liars. A simple one was to take a small paycheque with all source deductions and then pay yourself a high dividend which is taxed at a lower rate.
I'm not averse to paying taxes as long as I realize 90 cents value per dollar paid. (the other 10 cents goes for those who need help)
We shouldn't even be thinking more taxes as long as politicians receive the criminal pensions and travel expenses they do. When we get rid of the garbage then we can start thinking about what we wish to fund.
Thanks I have that on paper somewhere and was just about to go looking for it..
I would not be able to tell you the 'value' opportunity, but I am a believer that gvt is not an effective administrator of money. I would be amazed if only $0.10 per dollar was used for admin.
The MP/MLA pensions is a real big thorn in my side... These yahoos don't pay tax as is (I think), but they get a gold-plated pension, the likes that no one else in Canada could ever dream of in their wildest fantasy... To make it worse, they get to vote on their pension arrangements and raises regardless of what the public thinks.
It all just adds a lot of insult to injury
It's a very descriptive example.
I'm getting the impression when people are too f**King stupid to make a sensible contribution of their own the next best thing they are capable of (with an I.Q. of 4) is to hand out "reds". (which by the way says much more about the donor than the donee) :lol:
Victimization thanks to Romney:
Romney’s lax regulation may have fueled meningitis outbreak
A meningitis epidemic that has killed 25 is linked to a Mass. company Romney's administration failed to regulate
Romney’s lax regulation may have fueled meningitis outbreak - Salon.com
The fatal meningitis epidemic sweeping the United States can now be traced to the failure of then-Gov. Mitt Romney to adequately regulate the Massachusetts pharmaceutical company that is being blamed for the deaths.
At least 344 people in 18 states have been infected by the growing public health crisis and 25 have died so far.
But the epidemic may also play a role in the presidential campaign, now that state records reveal that a Massachusetts regulatory agency found that the New England Compounding Co., the pharmaceutical company tied to the epidemic, repeatedly failed to meet accepted standards in 2004 — but a reprimand was withdrawn by the Romney administration in apparent deference to the company’s business interests.
“It goes all the way up to Mitt Romney,” said Alyson Oliver
Innocents die whether through deregulation or through lack of health care and Republicans celebrate. No surprise. Vote Republican. Vote more deaths.

In the scenario you paint, the corporate income tax in China is actually lower. If you moved your headquarters to China but the income the corporation generates is not connected to that office, ie your sales are still in North America, then the corporate tax rate is actually only 20%. Move some factories there and then you will pay 25%.
But in reality you don't need to move headquarters around to get favourable tax treatment. The corporation I work for is headquartered in Switzerland, Pfizer is one of our main competitors and they are headquartered in the US. They use various means of avoiding tax though, and don't even come close to paying the full 35%.
There is already a program similar to this in Australia & New Zealand. 2 of my cousins went to medical school in Dunedin, NZ and upon graduation they were given the opportunity to serve the govt for 2 years or pay their student loans. Both chose to serve, spent lots of time in the outback caring for aborigines and in remote mining settlements etc. It is a great program for all.
At the end of the day the money is there but being wasted on stupid, pork-barrel sh*t and 'fact-finding' junkets and caucus meetings at Langara lodge etc. If we could hold these stupid bast*rds accountable for unwise and unethical use of our taxes the money might wind up where it should funding something useful like education.
Yeah, I've seen this one before. It was bogus then and it's bogus now. It exaggerates the amount paid by the top 3 and doesn't count any sales or value added taxes paid by the poor. It doesn't count for any offshore investments or capital losses or the myriad of other deductions available to the wealthiest.
At best it is an oversimplification that doesn't consider all factors, at worst it is a complete fabrication intended to mislead.
Fair enough... One of the trends in the USA right now (and probably Canada) is that Domestic companies with international operations are setting up a subsidiary in the (offshore) nation of operations. In those cases where the corp tax rates are lower, the subsidiary is not flowing the revenues back to the parent in an effort to pay the lower tax rate in the nation of origin (of the revenues). Those monies are likely deployed in that general jurisdiction and retained as profit there.
The parent company basically 'owns' that money, but by virtue of not transferring it to HQ, they are sheltered from the higher US (or CDN) tax rates.
As far as capital losses are concerned - it is still a loss on the after tax capital required to get into the investment or start the company, etc.. being able to take advantage of a capital loss doesn't turn a net loss into a net profit.. It's still a loss.
I couldn't agree more
Sales taxes and VAT aren't taxes exclusive to the poor, but the graduated, progressive taxes do become exclusive as you climb the income ladder.
As far as offshore investments are concerned, that's a complex area, but suffice to say, the original capital that may comprise the offshore account are, again, after-tax dollars. Further, those offshore monies must remain offshore - you repatriate those funds and you stand a strong probability of having them taxed (personal taxes that is).
Bear in mind that there are numerous nations that Canada has a tax treaty with, so it's not quite as easy as setting up a corp mailing address in the Caymans, filing your taxes there and later transferring the money to yourself in Canada without having a tax bill on it.
In it's most base form, the example is accurate.. Replace 'beer' with medicare and it's bang-on.
I use to admire US politicians because they weren't like mad parliamentarians. Now it's worse than parliamentary partisanship.
Really? You use a hypothetical describing a tax system as evidence where trickle down has worked. lol Funny, dude.
What I like about the beer ****ogy is how it reflects upon how people look at things.
Everyone needs help. Single women are no exception. They are single because no one wants to form a family with them, or they don't want to form a family with someone else. Thus, there is no partner...but the need for a partner continues to exist. That's where the govt. comes in. It acts as the partner for many single women such as unwed mothers.
What you are about to read is based in sexist generalizations. I know exceptions exist. But it still applies to the majority...
Women tend to be more liberal than men, period. Married, single, gay, straight, it doesn't matter. Genetically, we are wired to take care of people, and thus we tend to support policies that do the same.

And some men like to fuk other people in the azz, which is why they are Republicans.
There's nothing attractive about Romney once he opens his mouth....................
