I save that privilege for people who just make stuff up, spin it and post it, to shill for their ideological party.
Right and the NDP aren't going to screw us either!
Lets see, he's gonna tax "big business" more so that he can take the money gained to "spread the wealth". Fine. Those businesses then will pass that tax increase to us - the consumer, thus higher costs. So, the consumer can't afford to buy it anymore, so the business has to lay off employees because they're not selling their products - no buyers. Okaaay. So now we have more unemployed. OKaay. Oh wait, he's not finished. He's also going to bring in a carbon tax to tax these same companies...riiighttt! But that's bogus because these credits will be able to be bought and sold and who knows how much and, again, these costs will be passed down to us - the consumers. Riight! Again, prices go up, and the consumer can't afford to purchase whatever gizmo these companies sell so more lay-offs! Okaaay - and the wheels of the bus go round and round too!
So, who's going to suffer? The middle and lower classes, thats who. The rich can afford the price increases; most of us "average joes" cannot.
So you tell me who is "scarier!"
As was stated earlier, I, too, work hard for my money and I feel I pay my fair share of taxes, but it ends there!
I donate what I can to local charities and take care of my family, but my "charity" only goes so far!

That's good for you Bear.
I've stated time and time again that I don't support cap and trade, but you continue to brush that aside as if it doesn't mean anything. What a shill I am for taking the time to actually agree with you on something.
It isn't what you agree or disagree with MF. It's the silly accusations, spin and myths you keep posting about Harper, that makes you a shill.
Objectivity. But like I said before, I knew you were NDP, long long ago. So I won't be holding my breath waiting to see any of it from you. You should note, that when I see the type of spin you call 'objective' in the media, about Iggy or Layton, I tend to dismiss it and/or dispel it. While you embrace it, so long as it puts Harper in a bad light.
I think Bear and I are mature enough to accept each other's differences. :smile:
A deep breath of some good ol' O2 will help the headache disappear. Just bre-eeee-eathe.... ;-)
Actually, increasing the corporate income tax means we take some money back from the US treasury. When Flaherty reduced the corporate income tax, it meant that American corporations paid less income tax here in Canada. The result was just a shift in jurisdictions, more went to the US treasury, because American companies get credits for income tax paid here in Canada. Dropping the corporate income tax is a wealth transfer, to the US treasury, for all companies based in the US as well as individuals here in Canada.
So, much of that money will actually just be coming back to Canada.

I don't wish to "piss on your parade" Nick, but much to your chagrin I'm predicting more rural ridings will vote Conservative than N.D.P. Contrary to what you think I think most of the population is "in between". People who are starving and losing their houses are in the minority in B.C.
I thought you were in the Southern Interior riding but you must be in Kootenay Columbia, No?
