Tax Berserk
Micheal Ignatieff stated that his platform at Montreal. One of his new ideas is to freeze the tax on corporation. Now of course when the Conservatives hear "tax" from a Liberal they go off and say that they will never support a tax hike, a job killing tax, they act like the Liberals have just said that Canada is not a country. First, their is a big difference between hike and freeze and if the Conservative party does not know the difference I would not trust their budget at all. Now, I believe that instead of freezing taxes how about lowering taxes for new companies and increase the tax on big corporate company's. So new jobs can be made and the deficit could lower a decent amount.If you are worried about competitiveness Canada has one of the most lowest taxes in the world.
"After being gone for 34 years, [Ignatieff has] come back to Canada
with a reckless plan to raise taxes. Ignatieff's tax hikes will kill
jobs, put the brakes on our recovery and set Canadian families back,"
Soudas said.
However, Ignatieff argued that, thanks to years of Liberal and
Conservative reductions, Canada's corporate tax rate is already 25 per
cent lower than in the United States. He said that leaves some room to
defer the scheduled cut to 15 per cent by 2012 without hurting
competitiveness.
He reminded Liberals that "we've been here before," when Jean
Chrétien promised to reduce a $42 billion deficit in 1993 to three per
cent of GDP.
Chrétien's government exceeded its target and erased the deficit entirely within four years.

Just as Canada has begun making progress on the global tax scene, along comes Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff with a plan to shift gears and head backwards. Only last week, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney was hailing Canada's falling corporate tax burden. "Corporate tax competitiveness -- particularly for new investment -- has improved markedly over the past decade and is now among the most attractive in the industrialised world."
Not for long, if Mr. Ignatieff has his way. Looking into the rear view mirror of his economic model, a not unfamiliar driving position for Liberals, Mr. Ignatieff has decided he would like to keep Canada's federal corporate tax rate at 18% for the next few years rather than lower it to 15%.

When the Liberals were in office we saw massive cutting of transfers to the provinces for Health, Education and Social Services, the raiding of the pensions of the Public Service, the RCMP and the Military, the illegal appropriation of some $54 Billion Dollars paid by workers and their employers into EI, myriad scandals involving graft and corruption by the Liberal Party, the most notable being ADSCAM, and one of the most infamous quotes coming from Justice Gomery saying of the Liberal Party, ‘they are criminally organized”.
ReplyDeleteThe Liberal Party is toast, there is no way back.
And now they suggest a national carbon tax?
And when will they pay back that missing $40 Million from ADSCAM?
What about the $162 Million Taxpayer Dollars Paul Martin’s CSL received while he was Finance Minister?
Proofed.
ReplyDeleteOh, and will someone please shut Dmitri up? The spin doctor should have his licence to practice revoked. One trick pony and an angry one at that.
