That rant confirms my observation that the current conservative philosophy has a total lock on stupid.

Well Billy, if math is just too hard, you can always kill yourself. The school nurse will help you.

You still take yours to H&R Block....

Yeah buying off politicians and celebrity lawyers are tax deductible. It's all YOUR FAULT you can't afford to. Be thankful for the $15 you get back on your $100 political contribution. You'd get back way more if you coughed up $1M

The average wage is somewhat pulled down by the minimum wage. $15/hr is 31,2K a year. If you go by wages that people can live on and would work at it wouldn't be so skewed. $190K is damn nice, but not that great for more senior management positions. I did date a woman who walked away from her job cuz they wouldn't go over $130 and she knew well the guy she replaced was getting $175K and that was 15 years ago. I wish I'd ever earned anywhere near that!

Oh FFS the wood that made your house was stolen off Indian lands. Give up the deflection. I happen to live where about 300 logging trucks a day go to the sawmill near Quesnel. So do the train tracks from here, but they insist trucking is more economical. We also saw diesel spike to nearly $3/L and that didn't stop them, and not a penny of that increase was carbon tax. Things change, people will adjust, and you will too. They'll have 1200hp Dodge Chargers out there soon enough. Who the hell cares what it runs on?

You're arguing with people who think it's just fine for billionaires to pay less tax than a McDonald's employee.

What does murdering a robber have to do with protecting children? The state doesn't execute thieves, but you have a right to?

What is the moral justification of labelling them as 'animals'?

Average backbencher salary is $190K (from taxpayers fed site), about what the CAO of a small sawmill would make. The idea that paying them less would make things better is as stupid as electing a billionaire thinking he'd be there to help the common worker.

Some people imagine you can influence others by totally ignoring them.

Most of democracy's criticism comes from those who 'think' they are the majority, which these days seems to think is the group that makes the most noise, where in the past they thought it was silent.

and that's why they voted him out...

Just as you keep claiming the mere lip service the Liberals spout as extreme environmentalism? Hmm there's still billions of tax incentives shelled out for oil companies. How many abandoned or spent wells in Alberta were cleaned up without using your tax dollars? Do you need 2 hands to count them?

Reducing our dependence on China - YES Cutting off ties - STUPID

What next gripe about paying GST & PST because the flights aren't landing in Canada?

That's perfect. If we ever get a republic, we should use that model. A President that's only ceremonial you say? That's perfect. Fly around shaking hands, sign things handed to them... perfect. Far better than an illiterate lout that lies, cheats, cons, pronounces new law by sole authourity and has no sense of shame zooming about the world making the country look like the Mickey Mouse club President.

Only If you want to debate the entire population of N America all by yourself.

It's quite obvious that reason10 is more like reason@13 with a SOuth Park Social Studies teacher. (whatever) is just BAD mmm'kay? Duh yessir...

Get with the program. They steal the jobs you don't want anyway, somehow get to collect welfare you pay for at the same time and get to vote while they throw yours away, and none of them are Baptists! /s

Good God are you like 9? Everybody knows the words "Democratic Republic" means NOT. And WTF with the 10th Century thinking that countries with Monarchs can't be considered democracies? The only thing Chucky can do that you can't is drive through Ottawa with a free police escort. The Emperor of Japan's been just as useless since 1945. You get a VOTE, they don't.

Yeah the IRS give out fake news too. F***ing pathetic man, if you didn't already know years ago that numbers like these were coming, your head's up your ass. The usual I see. Hunter Biden's laptop, fake election, Hillary's emails blah blah blah you forgot Benghazi....

You have such a sense of timing reason10! Complaining about welfare bums the same day they release figures that showed your demiGod Trump. just like I said: Paid less income tax than the kid who made his KFC.

The only thing Fox News has managed to annihilate in all these years is it's own credibility.

An entire hearing of evidence, six years of evidence, a lifetime of evidence the man's a P.O.S. But we're talking with people who'd peer over the rail of the cruise ship they're on and deny there's any evidence of an ocean existing....
