    The government is increasing them starting Jan. 1, 2012, with the average increase costing employees and employers $306 a year.


    The tax and spend Tories are at it again. I guess you need to be a corporation to get a break these days.

    Yeah, we can only dream how much the Libs and Dippers would have lowered all those
    taxes, including lowering taxes to pay for their Green BS and Commie agenda. :roll:


    Just more whining from the hacks.

    Whining?

    The government is going through with a planned corporate tax cut to bring the rate down to 15 per cent from 16.5 per cent.


    Total BS. They won't lower my income tax AND they're going to take more of my paycheck, but Steve's big oil buddies get a break as well as billions in grants. Bring on the green commie agenda because this one sucks.

    It was generally pushed by the Liberals and NDP that the CPC needed to spend its way out of the recession. The CPC acquiesced and here we are today.

    Outside of the legalization of pot, and the instant savings of billions that would come with it through lower crime rates and the near end of the gang wars in Canada, where would you think that money should come from except from taxes?

    Secondly, were the Liberals and NDP wrong? Was it incorrect to spend, and should the CPC had stuck with its plans not to inject new spending?

    You're not actually serious when you make these first year university poli sci minor accusations are you? Really?

    What do you believe would happen if you raised corporate tax rates instead of lowering them? What would you offer to corporations as an incentive to stay with their jobs in Canada vice moving them elsewhere that is more friendly to business profits?

    More BS. They screwed up the stimulus spending so that it was ineffective and costly.



    Watch as Steve explains how there was no other choice than to commit stimulus money, only weeks after saying that they had absolutely no plan for stimulus spending.

    Now you've gone off the deep end again. Cancel oil subsidies, cancel corporate tax breaks. It's the same situation we were in prior to the election and they haven't come up with any ideas other than raising taxes on the working poor.

    At least it's an increase that's going to finance an existing program that assists hundreds of thousands of people at any given time. It's not like it's going to be used on some bullshit firearms registry or to pass paper bags full of cash to some party machinery bagman in Montreal.

    Nobody ever suggested to raise corporate taxes. Just don't cut them while we're borrowing money to pay the bills. It's extremely simple to anyone who isn't a Conservative hack.

    good idea. Raise taxes on lower incomes but leave low tax rates in place for high income earners. That'll work.

    Did you miss the fact that "employers" are paying more.....guess those evil corporations don't get so much of a break do they.

    We're always borrowing money to pay the bills and both the Liberals and Conservatives have been lowering taxes while our debt rises.

    So they get a big tax break, and a small increase in EI premiums. We just get the shaft.
