Or is it in yr 4 over 60 billion will have been taken out of the economy, and tax breaks will be around 1000.00 total. Of course we must mention to anon that of course lower taxes will result, because fewer people will have jobs, and those that do will be making much less money than today. All of which means lower taxes. And remember, with those lower wages you will still pay more for every item you buy, big or small. And when truckers decide to cut costs by quitting the business, or eliminating routes, there may be less items for you to buy, as they will no longer be transported to your stores. If airlines and buses can eliminate trips, why not truckers.maryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099534478709227356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-70271922699130540892008-07-16T00:36:00.000-06:002008-07-16T00:36:00.000-06:00Anon, The sky is falling is more the Liberals shti...Anon, The sky is falling is more the Liberals shtick. You know; the environment,soldiers with guns in our streets, Bush, stuff like that. I am just here exposing bad policy.<BR/><BR/>The green shift is BS on almost every level. It is not an environment plan, it is a tax grab to pay for more Liberal social program. Worse yet,it will NOT work as a tax/social policy either!<BR/><BR/>Back to your reply, but it is quite vague and I am not sure I understand what your points are.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure who "those who are being penalized now" are, but let me know because I like to know who exactly I am not supposed to care about.<BR/><BR/>You are also quite vague when you talk about our imbalanced tax system, or what the specific problem is. Without that I am unsure how the green shift would help.<BR/><BR/>The tax break part I do understand, but I am not sure you understand that the true costs brought on by the carbon tax are going to be much greater than any tax break claimed in the policy. It will cost much more to live day to day for everyone as prices get driven up on just about everything because Dion's plan. Any guesses as to which segment of our society is going to have the hardest time paying for those increases?<BR/><BR/>This is one 'tax break' the poor can do without because it will save them money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-32076716239927195572008-07-15T16:20:00.000-06:002008-07-15T16:20:00.000-06:00Everyone is on holidays, you bonehead!

Only you "sky is falling" CPC hacks are still slaving away trying anything to get some traction for your "green shift is bad" routine.<BR/><BR/>Most people understand the basic idea of the shift in where the tax base comes from. Your moaning about it "penalizing" somebody just goes to show you really don't care about those who are being penalized now, every day that we continue to have this imbalanced tax system that subsidizes oil companies and keeps the money we could invest in alternatives out of our pockets.<BR/><BR/>CPC supporters arguing against tax breaks for average people.

He didn't hesitate to spew forth when Harper did something he didn't like.<BR/><BR/>There are rumours that Buzz intends to run for the Liberals, even though these policies would hurt the people for whom he advocated for so long.

It's the middle of July. <BR/>No Iggy, Rae, or Ralphie Goodale {where are they}just Dion alone. Where is the team? Where are they hiding?

I guess it is so bad, they do not even want to publish it!.Even with their own reporters, they can't get a positive for dion. I notice the liberal "Red Star" is finding it hard to get any positive reaction to their articles....The Country realize this is nothing but a tax shaft to pay for their big spending spree and pay down the dept of the 2 million they borrowed to keep their party going last year....Notice also, liberal Jane and Oliver on Question Period did not even mention the Green Grab - it is going over so badly - they dare not say a word. If it was being supported, their whole show would be on it all summer, how dion's barbecue trip across the country, was setting the world on fire, they sure talked about it every week before the House of Commons resolved.......Must be sad days for Globe and Mail owners/reporters and Question Period hosts.... Harper is doing well, and dion is falling fast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-84724686547827660732008-07-14T09:25:00.000-06:002008-07-14T09:25:00.000-06:00You forget something Alberta A.

THE MSM! they support Dion' Green Shaft, why, because they have yet to say they disagree; How about Danny Williams, no noise; no rant and rave-take down flag-don't vote liberal have not been heard nor seen; apparently Danny like the MSM are in favour of it.<BR/><BR/>In yesterday's QP taber stayed far away from her high and mighty Dion and liberals.<BR/><BR/>Only a few liberals said they disapprove with the Green plan but no one knows of them since the MSM take great care not to reveal their names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
