Liberals now pulling away from Cons into majority territory

[petros]

Can't speak to Sask or BC, but in AB, it's a flat 10%... Maybe the difference you see incorporates some recognition of the various additional taxes in BC

I'm going to open last year's return and change the province to compare.


SK is 11-15% and I'm in the 26% Fed bracket. and 13% Provincially
11% on the first $43,292 of taxable income, +
13% on the next $80,400, +
15% on the amount over $123,692


British Columbia
5.06% on the first $37,606 of taxable income, +
7.7% on the next $37,607, +
10.5% on the next $11,141, +
12.29% on the next $18,504, +
14.7% on the next $45,142, +
16.8% on the amount over $150,000

no - I'm against an inequitable proposal that doesn't benefit all Canadians... how quaint of you to be so dismissive of, apparently to you, the great unwashed middle/lower-class.

Actually, the Liberals/NDP are the ones dismissive of the lower/middle class by proposing an expensive, inefficient, bureaucrat-heavy system that does NOT help the vast majority of lower income earners, as they DO NOT work 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. That is something you completely refuse to address.

As I demonstrated below, your figures are garbage.

Face the reality.

Do the math.

Liberals typically are no good at either.

November 6 numbers.

Nothing has changed.

So far, none of the Con fear mongering has really amounted to any change in support.

China comments -nope
Abortion -nope
Marijuana legalization -nope
Iraq -nope
Ezra "HIS MOM'S A DIRTY *****" Levant -nope
Ottawa shooting -nope
Income splitting -nope
Sexual harassment -nope

Is this the beginning of Teflon support?

Welfare does not benefit anyone making over 100G a year but we get to pay for it. Neither does the GST credit,How is that equitable?

Welfare benefits the rich too. Why do you think we even have it? Oh right, I completely forgot the time the poor ran the country and the rich weren't self-serving.

I looked.

The "four million families" quote is correct. Every two parent family with children should benefit to some degree or the other, no matter how small.

sorry, you're mixing your talking points! The 4 mil families figure is the number claimed by Harper Conservatives realizing a benefit... for the complete package... not just the isolated income-splitting focus we've been discussing. In that regard, in isolation, Harper Conservatives are claiming the income-splitting proposal will realize a benefit for 1.7 million families. My crack research team is on it and I'll shortly provide an update that speaks to the real benefit numbers associated with the income-splitting proposal. Stay tuned.

Glad you agree that all families will benefit from the Harper plan......unlike the NDP/Liberal national daycare plans.

PM Harper is hardly the worst we have ever had, Tec.........I reserve that for the not-so-great Chretien who I once admired greatly and came to loathe once he was our PM. I do not agree with everything that Mr Harper does - his stance on Israel stinks IMHO and he could do much more for our Vets, but I do give him credit for keeping us well afloat whilst the rest of the world melted down after the financial crisis and he has expanded our trading abilities much more than any other PM in my lifetime. There is much to be said for staying the course and that I will be doing coming election time.

I think Chretien was a good politician but a poor Prime Minister.

excuse me? You claimed 4 million families will benefit from the Harper Conservative income-splitting proposal. You even said you "checked the numbers". You were incorrect, by more than 50%... even using Harper Conservative's own claimed numbers. Is this your way of weaseling out of being wwwwrong?

 

[DaSleeper]

I wonder if someone can tell which is Harper an which is just another "progressive" ?

And it's not the shiny pony....;-)
