Liberals

That arrogant SOB Hansen was on the news tonight saying the HST will go through no matter how many people are against it and I guess he's right. Once they're elected, they can do anydammthing that they want. There is no way to stop them.

And they call this a democracy?!

Interesting article today in the Winnipeg Free Press. The NDP Manitoba government is considering harmonizing their PST with the GST.

I guess there are two ways to look at this issue;
1. from the view point of the party in power, and
2. from the viewpoint of the opposition

Why is the opposition here so adamant against the HST while their brothers in Manitoba are considering going that way? What and who can you believe?

You forgot the third viewpoint - 3. the poor, long suffering taxpayer.

Don't believe ANY political party! They're a bunch of congenital liars. Figure it out for yourself whether you will be paying more taxes with the HST than with the current system then decide which way you would rather go.

We need people to stop being sheep and listening to politicians and to start using their own brains.

Here are a few numbers that the HST will add up to

THE TAX GRAB 7% more for NOTHING more

Seniors living in retirement enjoy a lifestyle different than the one they lived while at work. In retirement, to be active, often means paying a fee, a membership, an admission, a subscription or for costs for travel, etc.

We have calculated that the impact of this will be more costly for seniors, than anyone has reported.

Consider a retired couple, receiving total retirement income of $41,400 after tax per year, healthy enough to enjoy some comfort in retirement.

Many of those items used on a daily basis will now be subject to an 7% cost increase, because of the new harmonized sales tax introduced by the Liberal government


Look at just a few of those items that will cost more, without getting more.

Cable TV: if $60 monthly, yearly increase is $50.40 more.

this tax must be scaring the crap out of business owners in BC, makes me think I'll be buying any major items in Alberta or Ebay hate to do that to the businesses in BC but with the internet there are alot of options out there. I've often wondered who would vote liberal and often the answer is small business owners, kind of screwed yourself here.
