| I don't understand the concept of zero corporate taxes being a no-brainer. One comment following the op article wondered why corporations which are treated as citizens, in fact as supra citizens, should be exempted from income tax. I think that is a very valid point, so what are the economic argume... |

| "Tax employer supplied health insurance" I'm not sure I understand what that means. Do you count the employer supplied health care as person income, which is then taxed? Employers often provide compensation to their workers in forms other than wages, such as providing them with a car or a... |

andyt andyt: Since #4 obviates # 1 & 2, I'm not sure how well they thought this through. It still makes sense to talk about 1 and 2, so long as 4 isn't already reality. 4 is much more ambitious idea anyway and would thus probably take longer to implement, if it were possible. |

| 1 Mortgage interest isn't deductible 2 You already are taxed for employer paid health insurance premiums I guess these two points are moot in the case of Canada. If you want to tackle these, you can say whether you'd want to change the policy on these issues in Canada to be more like in US. I suspe... |

| I ran across this very interesting webcast where they discuss 6 different economic proposals that economists across the political spectrum agree with, but aren't necessarily popular with the voters. What's your take on these? |

| The article speaks of "Brussels" declaring tourism as human right. But has that (so far) been declared by anyone other than commissioner Tajani? The article wasn't very clear on this and on how far Tajani's plan has progressed. |

| Whether it is irrelevant or not is not up to you and I can post what I want. I have no control over your posting. I was only giving advise. The point of gay politicians is a vast broad topic and I posted what I thought. Okay, but the topic discussed here is much narrower. Your post clearly struck s... |

| But I don't oppose homosexuality on the grounds of morality. I already declared myself a true liberal. To each his own.

| I wasn't commenting on what 'you' wrote but rather a general opinion on the subject title Actually your comment doesn't make sense in that context either since the title isn't about why gay politicians get elected but rather why they get elected more often in some countries than others. It's usuall... |
