WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Right you are.......let's also remember that over 10 1/2 million Canadians have TFSAs, of them, ~50-60% earn less than 60K a year (80% earn less than 80k) and that over half of TFSA holders are seniors (that have enjoyed income splitting for some time)........seniors vote.......... Keep voting until Canada ranks #20 in world economies! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year! Total fail of the moderation on this site!

Hydraboss Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) A lot more than "Harper supporters" are going to vote for him once The Hair That Walks Like A Man and the Other Guy push their platforms that take back tax cuts and this is interpreted at "higher taxes" on Average Joe and Martha. The mid-line liberals in this country will finally have a reason to move to the right and vote conservative - because money trumps "do-good-ism" every time. edit->sp Edited April 23, 2015 by Hydraboss Quote "racist, intolerant, small-minded bigot" - AND APPARENTLY A SOCIALIST (2010) (2015)Economic Left/Right: 8.38 3.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.13 -1.23
WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 You don't 'pay for' tax cuts. The government forgoes revenue. This budget, as far as I'm concerned, was very good. It lowered taxes, improved infrastructure, and made some much needed (re)investments into the CAF. They pretty solidly have my vote this time (I've never voted CPC in the past). So good maybe we'll stay ahead of the #16 world economy Spain! Ya that's right, Spain is right on Canada's ass! Go Harper go! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00!

WWWTT Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 But the average Canadian WON'T get the picture because the average Canadian is financially retarded.

marcus Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Way to go Cons! The budget is balanced! Now let loose your mouthpieces who either won't mention or don't know that: Thanks to $1.8 billion grabbed from the Employment Insurance fund, $2 billion from the contingency fund, and roughly $3 billion raised from selling shares in General Motors (below value), the federal government finally gets to brag that it balanced the budget.

Completely understood the nature /meaning of your question.

Keepitsimple Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) LOL! Brazil is #7 world economy. What G7 are you talking about? And who's in it? WWWTT There's only one G7 and if you don't know who's in it, then you surely don't understand economies. Here's a quick tutorial for you. Have some pride in your country....which I assume is Canada! The Group of 7 (G7) is a group consisting of the finance ministers and central bank governors of seven major advanced economies as reported by the International Monetary Fund: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States meeting to discuss primarily economic issues. The European Union is also represented within the G7. The G7 are the seven wealthiest major developed nations by national net wealth, representing more than 64% of the net global wealth ($263 trillion) according to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report October 2014.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G7 Edited April 23, 2015 by Keepitsimple Quote Back to Basics

I can't imagine Canadians care enough to give that rat's ass. Your ranking makes no sense. You want to explain to me how dropping in rank is going to improve Canada???? I can't explain it because it doesn't mean a damn thing. Would you care to explain how being #100 or being #1 makes any credible difference except in your mind? And where, exactly, are you getting this ranking from? The G7 is well known and Canada is in it, so what "think tank list" are you quoting from? Got a cite?

cybercoma Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 I think it's always a good idea to promote savings. Lots of people should try to live within there means and save a little. Do you think it would be better to allow people to write off interest on boats and houses like in the US? Promote people to take on more debt? Not sure how many people that are not in the top 2-3% have enough to need the added space. Maybe the self employed? They usually get a lot of write offs that keep their tax brackets low enough to make RRSPs not that attractive. I think that if a stagnate economy is the problem then encouraging people to save their money is the exact opposite of what will help the economy. Companies grow and hire more people when they do more business. People putting their money in tax-sheltered savings and not spending it does little to encourage businesses to grow and to hire more people, further stimulating the economy. Quote

What is the level of disposable income for the average Canadian? You save for a rainy day. Sometimes it turns out to be a year, or so. If I had not saved all that money, I would have been out in the streets begging for change. Stuff happens, and if you have some savings, the bad times can be easier to handle. Without some savings, you live payday to payday and are on the edge all the time. Quote
