WWWTT Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Holy ignorance! This is why commerce, management, and business classes should be mandatory for graduation. Ever look at our gdp and unemployment numbers? Ever look at our standard of living? Mandatory for what?Mandatory for "robbing people blind" college? Get a real job buddy and do something that actually contributes to society. A CEO or VP that can extract every penny out of you isn't exactly a "model citizen" WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punked Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 An federal NDP government would ruin this nation financially. They would tax corporations so much that the corporations would close down and leave (example: BC NDP in the 1970's taxing mining companies so highly that they left). The average working person would fair no better. The NDP is NO LONGER the "working man's party". They now view the working man as a cash cow to be taxed and taxed and taxed some more. Mind you, once all the corporations have left, the NDP will have nobody to tax since everybody would be unemployed. Yah they just moved all the ground they were mining right out of the province right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 stupid analogy, the NDP has had many financially responsible provincial governments...if we're grading federal parties by provincial counterparts performance no conservative party should ever be allowed to govern again based on the Grant Devine conservative government in sask, without doubt the worst financial record of any government in canada's history... More to the point, Layton has already said that he would keep the tax-rate below the US levels to remain competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're more inclined to consider monkey work pressing buttons or lifting things in a factory 'real work'? Maybe plowing fields with the other muzhiks?

As for you, please enlighten us how you contribute so much to society than say myself who runs a 3000 acre grain farm which provides jobs, tax revenue, spending on supplies, and scores of food.

ninjandrew Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Can somebody explain to me HOW oil companies would go about leaving? Would they abandon there multi-hundreds of billions of dollar refineries and machinery and so on, or pack them in a crate and take them with them? I would hope that they would just sell everything, and a Canadian company would buy it. Edited April 15, 2011 by ninjandrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that they would just sell everything, and a Canadian company would buy it. Work would be stopped and the assets would be mothballed. The refineries are pretty much all in the usa. A lot of the companies out west are canadian, eg suncor. There are a lot of oil reserves around the world other than canada, and if the price of oil production gets too high, alternatives are explored. Fortunately the canadian and sask/alta govts are smarter than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjandrew Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 What about all the refineries we have in Edmonton and Ft. Saskatchewan, a few in Calgary and maybe some others.

PIK Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 ya ignatieff has nixed the coalition but layton hasn't if the ndp ended up 2nd he would have no qualms forming a coalition, PM Jack?...and if the liberals were to finish 2nd it would be the end of ignatieff IMO...but we're getting ahead of ourselves here, if the latest polls are to believed the liberals have recovered a lot of support in ontario which should not only end the harper regimes quest for a majority but it should keep the liberals in 2nd... LOL Iggy has not nixed the coalition. He has never said he would not, he always says I am in to have lib goverment ,not once has he came out and said ,if the cons get a minority I will not go to the GG or vote down the budget or throne speech. He has already said he is not going to vote for the con budgget, so we either have a new election in a month or 2 or we have a coalition.

scouterjim Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Where would the banks,insurance companies and other service providers goes?Oh I know magic fairy land where every CEO earns 10 000 000+ bonuses and Harper eats grapes and sings songs from the 40's and caries a rifle in his jock. Where would the oil comanies go? I guess you like paying 1.30 a litre.Well keep paying and vote conservative. Time for real change buddy. Hey if he screws up then vote him out. But if things get run smoothly than whats the problem? Keep fighting shadows and phantoms and every CEO will be laughing and zipping rails on their private yachts in the Carribean earning 7 didgets a year while you have to slug it out every day.But at least you will have comfort in knowing that you are helping the poor CEOS maintain their lifestyle. WWWTT Vote NDP, and watch the gas prices soar. "Tax, tax, tax!" is the NDP cry, and you can be certain they will tax the oil industry more and more if they took power.

M.Dancer Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 to hold on to first then I'll start crying. You think these companies care for you? No and I don't expect or want them to. Oh and this anti corporate sentiment is for a good reason.It exists because corporations put profits before employees. True, some people are too clueless to know which side of the bread butter goes on. Go to Japan and invest your money in the stock market there buddy. WWWTT Don't have to go to Japan to do that.

Is anybody with me in that higher taxes isnt necessarily a bad thing, so long as we get something out of it? Scandinavian countries have some of the highest taxes in the world, but also some of the highest standards of living, quality of life and distribution of wealth.
