You should have a look at Harper's proposed policies, Jay. He'd cut some programs, but he would increase government and political interference in our lives. Just like his hero Georgie has done in the US.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't go around spouting off the glories of Harper. I speak from the right. I'm sure we have all voted for a party leader who wasn't our favorite bag of chips, because we voted for an ideology. We have to start somewhere.
George Bush isn't hero material. However, George Bush seems to me to be one of the finest examples of an American ideal; any American can become President.
Oh? Who proved it? Was it a scientific proof or a legal proof? Did it include all politicians or just the ones you don't like?
Recent history proves it. No it doesn't include all of them.
I'm sure the ones you vote for don't make it on the list.
You should check into who funds the think tanks that the Liberals and Conservatives get their policies from. Then check into who supports those parties financially. Then come back and tell me again how corporations don't write laws. While you're at it, have a hard look at how the tax burden has been shifted from corporations and the wealthy onto the middle and working classes.
Well I wonder who you thought was funding that? It takes money to make money, as the old say goes.
I'm not sending any politicians money, are you? I think I give those folks enough money otherwise. So it’s coming from somewhere...
But this doesn't negate the fact the government writes law; the corporations don't. If you believe this is being circumvented, then you must accept the fact most politicians lie, because no one is running around campaigning on circumventing democracy.
In order to keep jobs in Canada we need competitive tax rates for corporations. We don't all work for the government. Also remember the “no taxation without representation”. If corporations don’t pay taxes they need not be represented.
I don't have a real big hate on for wealthy people. I'm not interested in their money, unless they want to give it to me. I expect them to pay their fair share, and if they are paying in the same way I am I feel sorry for them.
We need less government. If the tax burden has been moved to the working classes, then I feel even more justified in my wanting a fiscally responsible conservative government who will run on platforms of leanness, tax reduction, less socialism, more freedom, with a clear understanding of provincial powers.
Are you naive enough to think that we don't pay for that through increased prices, lower wages for the workers, environmental disasters, increased tax burdens, poor service, health risks, etc? You can't be that naive, can you?
I have another old saying...prices rise. (Deflation can be bad)
I haven’t received any lower wages lately, (unless you count that tax increase by the Ontario government), but having an unemployment rate of 7% and insisting we need to bring in immigrants to fill jobs can't be helping wages go up. And I can't imagine your saying corrupt corporations are making environmental disasters? Dumping oil onto the sea and such? Otherwise, governments pretty much control the, who can do what, where and when. Health risks are another government matter. Really these are government responsibilities and have nothing to do with private padded expense accounts and free candy for The CEO.
I don't, which is why I want to change things. The government is supposed to represent the people and work for the greater good of the population at large. I'll continue to push for that.
Interesting. I share some of these beliefs also, but I'm not all about constant revolution; changing things. I simply want the governments to abide by the constitution, understand we are a people first and not a government. Quit believing there soul mission is to write two thousand new laws a day, and that they can generally piss off. For that matter, corporations can piss off too. I hate commercials.
Of course that evolved into Pizzagate where your heroes
They aren’t my heroes
That is all that Harper and his fellow incompetents have done as Official Opposition. They try to create scandals instead of dealing with issues.
This is true....
the only positive thing that can be said of them is that at least they never formed the government.
This is not.
The Sponsorship Program is merely icing on the cake. It just goes to show why they can’t be trusted with more than a few nickels to provide some basic services and fireworks at the end of the year.
