Wow, I don't know how many people I have tried explaining this to.I must say, these politicians must have never played with dominoes when they were kids or they'd know if you knock the first one down, it takes all the rest with it.
The system "we" have built today is an acting domino effect. All it takes is one little push and they all come tumbling down.
Unfortunately, unlike the 80's its more than just an energy crisis that has pushed. It's the off shore jobs.
So not only is it costing more to live due to a shortage of natural resources, but there are now very few jobs for the people.
And what does the governemnt do?
Throw some money at the problem. Typical knee-jerk reaction.
The bailouts are a prime example. If these companies cant stay open then what the fuck is throwing billions of dollars going to do?
Delay the inevitable.
Just like dropping the taxes. The conservatives over here dropped our GST down 2%(now we pay 5% with an additional 7% going to the province, for a total of 13%[used to be 15%]). But in all honesty, who notices that?
I sure as shit dont.
You dont pay GST on groceries.
And to make a big difference you need to be buying million dollar items (houses, yacts, big building) to really notice a saving.
So really, all that tax cut did was give more money to the people who already have a lot of money. What fucking good is that going to do?
I say keep the fucking 2% and create jobs. Help people who NEED the help, not rich fuckers who buy million dollar homes.
It just goes to show.
