Flaherty Dead Wrong!

Flaherty the fiance minister of Canada the one that allowed Harper to Say that Canada was in fine economic state and wasn't going to post any deficits is now telling Canadians that the Liberals will hurt jobs in Canada. That is dead wrong Canada's Corporate tax is one the lowest in the industrialized world and more important much lower than the U.S corporate tax rate. The Liberals want to place the tax rate at 18% true the current Corporate tax rate is 16.5%, but increasing Corporate tax rate by 1.5% (which was just a few years ago) would not have dramatic effects on our economy because our tax rate is already low so we really have not much to benefit from lowering it, because business will already want to come over to Canada, because our tax rate is much more favorable almost every country in the G8. Plus Corporate tax cuts don't help the economy by much when you compare it to everything else the government could do with that money like helping Canadian family's or small business that actually need it and maybe if the conservatives were really responsible they would give that money back to China which is were that money is coming from. The Conservatives are really stubborn on keeping the deficit going on forever. Flaherty is defending the tax cuts saying it helped create 460,000 jobs.

"Canada's competitive taxes helped create over 460,000 jobs since the end of the recession, since July 2009," Flaherty said. "We are on the right track."

But there was much more in the stimulus then just corporate tax cuts and the tax cuts didn't create many of those jobs it was the money the government was giving people if the re renovated there house or helping cities pay for projects.

"To cut corporate taxes today means that Canadians are going to have to pay higher taxes tomorrow. That's not sound economic policy."

Double Summit most Wasteful Spending

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has handed out awards for wasteful government spending. No surprise, the double G8/20 summit with its fake lake got the top spot. While the summits are a good thing, as leaders can get to talk with each other and forge bonds, there were a lot of unnecessary items that the Tories did not need to pay for, like the fake lake, $14 000 for glowsticks and a security fence in the middle of downtown Toronto. This could have been handled far better by  maybe, not using money in a crazy way, a wasteful way.

Pucapab

We're fed up. That is the message of the new French-language campaign called Pucapab, Québecois slang for, "I cannot take it anymore." Accompanying the Facebook page is a well-made music. In my opinion, the video is very well done and the music too. Unlike the Conservative attack ads, these do not attack Harper's personality. This is not supposed to win over Conservative voters, it's designed to draw support from people who simply cannot take anymore of Harper. Those are Dippers, Bloc Québecois voters and Green Party. To win the next election, Liberals are going to have to show that when you vote for the NDP, Bloc or Green to vote against Harper, you end up with him.

Mitt Romney the Front Runner!

Mitt Romney stated that his announcement for the road, but if Mitt Romney does run he would be a possible front runner. In the first 4 states Iowa,New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina he has a strong showing. In Iowa he is right behind Huckabee and could win the state, but in the last election in 2008 Romney was just 2% behind of Huckabee in the polls, but Huckabee won by more than 10%. Romney then looked at New Hampshire which he was battling hard for and was just 4% behind he ended up losing that state to, and he lost some momentum, but this time around it will be different. John McCain is no longer running and polls in New Hampshire shows that Mitt Romney is going to slam the competition. Now it could be looking like a battle against Huckabee. In Nevada Romney should be expected to win the state easy, but if Newt Gingrich runs his lead could dwindle, but even if he loses Nevada which I don't think is going to happen Romney is still in the four way battle for South Carolina. Meaning Romney is ahead or very competitive in the first 4 states while Huckabee is ahead and competitive in Only 2 Iowa and South Carolina, Newt Gingrich is only competitive in 2 (Nevada and South Carolina) and Palin is only competitive in South Carolina. Romney has a major advantage and last election even though he lost the election he fund-raised more money than McCain did during the same time.

Health Care Stays!

Obama's health care bill that by itself isn't enough to fully fix the health care in the U.S, but an amazing big jump forward. Now  many Republicans want to destroy the bill that helps people who have a pre-existing condition get health care insurance. The Health care bill that helps people not big insurance companies. Repealing the health care bill would add to the deficit over 100 billion in the first 10 years alone. The Republicans would like to take coverage from people who are sic and increase the deficit at the same time. Yet they blame Obama for helping people and lowering the deficit. Some of these Republicans are hypocrites. The bill to destroy the health care bill was stooped in the democratic controlled senate, and for now the health care bill is staying. But how long will the Republicans milk this. Maybe all the way to the white house, but even if Obama loses his presidency the senate unless the Republicans gain 13 seats which would be historic and impossible none the less the health care bill will stay.
