Shady Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Uh, do you mean Manitobans? Nope. I meant Manitobers. It's even funnier when you idiots are too stupid to know when you're being mocked! /facepalm Quote

fellowtraveller Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Call me when you pay the East off with interest for building you a rail road so you could be a province ok? The railroad was not built to help the West, it was built to exploit the West. Of course. Duh. How about the federal subsidization to drill your wells, and build you infrastructure?The subisdies are given by your federal govt from taxes you don't pay to benefit you in Manitoba. Of course. Duh. you hate the country and how it is run. I don't hate Canada, just hoping that some parts of them will someday contribute something, anything to the common cause. Of course. Duh. Quote The government should do something.

BubberMiley Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Nope. I meant Manitobers. Then you learned wrong in skool. I can see why you hate teachers so much. They must be very, very hard on your sense of self-esteem. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

Smallc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 Yah Manitoba's deficit is around 8% of spending Shady Deficit? It isn't that high. Quote
Smallc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 Love that deficit math that doesn't mention the disproportionate transfer/equalization money(billions, every year) that MB gets to 'balance' its budget off the sweat of others. Yes, because Manitoban's (with one of the highest work participation rates and an economy equal (per person) to Ontario doesn't contribute anything. Quote
Smallc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 Manitoba is a dead weight on Confederation, maybe the US will take it. Maybe they'll take you? Quote
punked Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Growing their economy will provide new revenues. Hey, you're a supply-sider! Welcome aboard! Why not just raise taxes punked? You could solve the deficit immediately. It's only around 8%. Raise taxes on the upper bracket. Why don't you practice what you preach? That is not what supply-siders are Shady Quote
Shady Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 That is not what supply-siders are Shady Why wouldn't you want to raise taxes? You could eliminate the deficit in Manitoba. Just raise taxes on the top brackets. Come on punked, practice what you preach! Quote
Smallc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 Why wouldn't you want to raise taxes? You could eliminate the deficit in Manitoba. Manitoba is already set to eliminate the deficit in a couple of years. That's the difference. Quote

Come on punked, practice what you preach! Maybe they should do what you believe which is cut taxes to 0 and magic will pay for everything Shady. An 8% gap and 2-3 years in deficit isn't something to worry about. A 30% deficit and already being in deficit for 10 years with another 20-30 years is something to do something about stupid. Quote
punked Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Deficit? It isn't that high. My bad I was using 2010 numbers not 2011 the deficit is only 2.5% of spending now. Seems pretty small compared to 30-40% doesn't it? One might not even ask anyone to raise taxes when that is the case. Edited July 19, 2011 by punked Quote
fellowtraveller Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Manitoba is already set to eliminate the deficit in a couple of years. That's the difference. But are they set to balance their budget without a couple billion bucks per year in equalization gravy? Now that would be different. Quote The government should do something.
punked Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 But are they set to balance their budget without a couple billion bucks per year in equalization gravy? Now that would be different. We already dealt with this issue of equalization. Do you not know the point of equalization in a Federation like Canada remember we aren't a republic and if you want to live in one of those you can move south because it aint going away. Quote
Smallc Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Posted July 19, 2011 But are they set to balance their budget without a couple billion bucks per year in equalization gravy? They can't forego receiving it. Quote
Shady Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Maybe they should do what you believe which is cut taxes to 0 Another lie from you. It's getting ridiculous now. I've never suggested cutting taxes to zero. Stop the lying already or I'm going to have to notify the moderators. Quote

Especially during a bad economy. There is no economic doctrine, whether it's Keynesian, or otherwise that suggests raising taxes during a bad economy is a good idea. Quote

No one on these boards would buy what you are selling right now. Quote
