NDP Horvath's “tax the rich” proposal.

[jacee]

If you paid $104k in taxes, you paid 3X the amount of the 87Million Dollar company I worked for....

Ok, now that we've got the richest under pressure, it's time for them to get riled up about the pittance in taxes paid by corporations!

Laugh it up, but I don't think you'll be laughing too hard when the last of the gravy train packs it in and moves on to greener pastures. What will you do then, stomp your feet along with the Quebec entitlement crew demanding higher transfer payments?

I've been in Manitoba long enough to see a lot of the corporate head offices and private corporations be squeezed out of the province by punitive provincial tax schemes. The only thing left here is government. I saw a statistic a few months ago that Manitoba has the highest percentage of civil jobs in the country...By a large margin. This leaves very few private companies left to contribute their tax revenue. There's only one other source of tax revenue, thanks NDP government.

As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

Ummmmm no.. I will still work with all my customers in Toronto and Waterloo area but now I will fly in once every 2 weeks and support them face to face if required or via web-ex...

I just realized something - flying in every two weeks is something like 25 flights a year. If you're moving out of province, and presumably not to Quebec... that's around $12K in airfare, 50% of which is likely taxes.

Oh well, I suppose they get you any way around it eh ?

All this discussion about taxing ignores the fact that a wishy washy NDP leader ignored the issues and fixated on a trifle simply to divert from the apparent lack of ability to take a stand for those she claims to represent. Who? Who indeed was happy with THAT phony budget that ignored the reality of the Drummond report and its 362 cost-cutting recommendations. Again and again McGuinty slips slides and slithers past the NDP enablers.

Have you been living in Manitoba long enough to see it become one of the fastest growing and most invested in provinces in Canada to? I guess not because your argument is BS.
