Tax Glutton Liberals



Tax Glutton Liberals



The elderly lady was walking in the park when she sat down on the bench beside a man wearing an army uniform. His legs were twitching up and down continually so she asked him what had happened to him. He said his nerves were injured while serving in the army. She gave him her sympathy and walked on when she saw another man in an air force uniform and he was shaking his head back and forth while frothing at the mouth. She sat beside him and asked what had happened to him. He said that he got injured while serving in the air force. Finally she walked on and came upon a man in a navy uniform who was shaking his arm and hand vigorously. Right away she asked him, “Did you get that in the navy young man?” ‘No” he answered, “I got it in my nose and I can’t get the darn thing off my finger!”
That’s the way most rural people feel about the McGuinty liberals who keep getting elected by big cities, union employees, city journalists and special interest elitists. We just can’t seem to shake their dictating policies and taxes off of us.
Hydro just announced another rate increase. While we’ve all been paying for the huge hydro debt, McGuinty went shopping and borrowed another billion dollars to pay for his unneeded ‘Smart Meters’. He’s pouring our money into Green Energy which costs more to produce that it’s worth while he creates more useless, high paying, green jobs for his friends. With the beginning of his ‘Time-of-Use’ power prices and HST this summer, we will all be paying much more for our hydro and heating fuel. And it doesn’t stop there.
McGuinty’s liberals have added ‘environmental levees’ to many of our consumer items. Whenever you purchase any oil products, you pay a levy (plus tax) and you pay a $5.00 disposal levy (plus tax) when you get an oil change on your vehicle. If you can afford it, that big screen TV is going to have a $50.00 levy (plus tax) and eventually all our consumer items will have this green levy (plus tax). Lets not mention the continual user fees he adds for services.
This tax glut, at our expense, will set up the liberals for the next election when they can promise all the unions easy settlements and greeners all the money they want to invade rural people with more environmental and species at risk laws and fines.
Provincially and federally the liberals are finished in most rural areas mostly because they only speak to the cities and punish the rural. The wide gap between the well off and the poor here is displayed by who’s licking McGuinty’s pink slippers and who isn’t.
The challenge now is for the provincial conservatives to create fiscal and social policies that reflect real conservative values because right now there’s almost no difference between the red and blue. Better yet, create a new party like the Family Coalition Party with real family values.
The only environmental problem rural Ontario has is the green fog that hovers over Toronto politics and I can’t see anything changing until people get off their butts and demand a change from the people they hire in government.
