LPoC Founder 2

Income Tax is unconstitutional, because it directly taxes a persons income. The only reason it remains, is because governments after world-war II decided they liked having this extra governmental income, and never de-institutionalized it. Our little three-member party will be having a sit down to discuss exactly how we are going to make money, as well as discuss any other issues and inconsistencies within the platform. Also: Perhaps Alberta teachers are well-paid, but I think it is rediculous that a teacher should have to teach in a classroom of sixty+ students, like some of our teachers currently are. The average class sizes are begining to drop, but this does not help the fact that the schools are slowly degrading into delapidated heaps. The money exists now. It's time that Klein stopped shoving hundred-dollar cheques into our hands, and started putting the money he has to use.

Here is one fundamental difference that we have developed: The Socialist NDP are known for creating a number of government-run organizations, some of the more well known ones are still around (though now privately owned), namely Air Canada, and Petro Canada. We have a policy of our own. "If it aint broke, don't fix it." Though we do plan to use social programs (such as public health care, and drastic improvements on our provinces level of education), we still support a primarily private business sector. Businesses, in my opinion as a founder, should be left to the private business men to run. Does this mean that I don't believe in certain levels of regulation? Absolutely not, however, I personaly see no reason why the government should own businesses. Another thing is that I would like to (if possible) remove this unconstitutional, antiquated income tax, which exisists only as a disgusting throw back to World War II. You may or may not notice how right wing these policys sound. However, I do believe a fair level of business regulation is in order. Now, though I do see some level of benefits to Kleinomics, I am rather disgusted by his treatment of extremely necessary programs such as education. As a son of two teachers, I see first-hand the level of stress and disgusting treatment teachers under go. These ever-famous teachers strikes are perfectly in order, and I see no reason why the conditions of schools cannot be improved. I would provincialy be in favour of reducing class sizes, and increasing the educational budget. I feel reduced class sizes would not only benefit the teachers, but the students as well. This would give students more time for one-on-one discussions with the teachers, and I feel we would see a drastic increase in test scores across the province. I also would like to subsidize the post-secondary institutions to reduce tuition fees. I feel an educated population would benefit the province, and even go so far as to help reduce the labour crisis the province is undergoing. Though our party is too small and too disorganized at the moment to truly be voted provincialy, we could use all the help we could get to make these things possible. Also, in regards to the environmental issue that was brought up: It is possible to run vehicles on alternate sources of energy, and to create buildings that do less damage to the surrounding area. What needs to happen is the government needs to break its bonds with Oil-revenue. I am in full support of Green Energy sources. As for my partner in crime... well, I'm more than certain he is too. Aren't you, buddy?
