Business and Farm Groups Call To Drop Federal Tax Changes For Small Business.

Watching CTV and BNN this afternoon, where this topic was front and center. Think it was on BNN where a panel was discussing that anyone making over 100k a year was not part of the middle class and instead part of the 1% and should be hit hard by taxation to pay for entitlements. ****ing retarded Liberal scum. Said it would be a good move for Dumbo Junior because the 1% don't vote Liberal anyways.

So over $100000 is the 1%. So all members of Parliament are members of the 1%? How come when a government like Justin Trudeau's makes the conscious choice to run a deficit no cuts in pay are made to their members? When a small business is losing money the owner usually cuts his own pay. Nothing like that in government. What about exorbitant pensions? Some existing MP's if they retired before the next election or they lose are eligible for pensions in excess of $3 million dollars payed for by us the taxpayer. How many MP's mortgage their house to run? Or for that matter risk any of their own money? Trudeau and Morneau are both wealthy. They have projected a what $500 million to $1 billion dollar revenue increase, not much of a dent in the $25 billion dollar deficit. This government has a spending problem not a revenue problem!!!!!

One other thought, by comparison a 1% increase in the GST would bring in $5 billion dollars.

Bingo! Although govts will always spend it all, maybe gst shoulda been left at 7%?.
What does bug me is how 'doing well' is now bad. The are are now 2 economic classes. Us and them.
Guess everyone over $100k personal before tax is now 'them'. Inclusiveness applied to economics.
I think Mao tried that too?......

most federal govt employees probably make $100k a year, along with golden pensions and 6 weeks holidays and 2 sick days per month.

It's the "makers" vs. the "takers".

The Turd already has his wad, so just tax the shit out of the rest of those left, still ambitious enough to try and make our own little bundle. Truly you can see, he already has his tucked away already.

Aga Khan, is probably investing(hiding away) a little for the Turd too.

The dumb **** is going to cripple this country.

Tax an' give,,,, the way to get re-elected !

Listening to Charles Adler on my local radio station last night and he brought up an interesting point, the Liberals must have polling that shows that going after corporations and small businessman is a vote winning strategy. Let's be realistic most small businessman are going to vote conservative. Trudeau continues his pushing of the Liberals to the left of center closer to the NDP. Younger voters like milennials seem to like more government in their lives. If he feels this will get him re-elected we can squeal all we want but he will push it through.

This all makes sense and it will likely be used for class warfare to divide business owners who mainly vote Conservative from the 8-5 Monday to Friday worker.
If the Liberals can take a NDP position while in power they become the new socialists and eliminate the need for 2 socialist parties.

This plan would eventually lead to out of control debt and more taxes which is the government intervention that is preferred by left wing parties.

Gerald Butts game plan.

Good article on this topic in the Financial Post today by Jack Mintz on how draconian these proposed changes are. Also a good article on the CBC website on how negative these changes will be for young female doctors who want to have a family. The opposition to these proposals is growing by the day!
