Explain to me how you think cutting taxes will finance infrastructure, health care etc. It’s the decafes of fucking austerity of the Chretien-Martin centrists and conservatives who created this massive social deficit to begin with. Yet somehow you think cutting taxes and spending less will fix the problem ? If your car is breaking down, does spending less on maintenance fix the problem?
Maintaining first world living standards is not “largess” and our great great grandchildren will probably be quite happy to have been born into a country that’s not been turned into a third world shithole where everything is broken beyond repair because some long-gone corporations and rich assholes a century earlier decided to keep everything for themselves and fuck everyone else. That’s actual largess.
First off I didn't mention cutting taxes you did and I didn't mention the Fraser institute that's your argument with someone else? I used the numbers from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation which i'm still waiting for you to refute. Not the methodology they use but the numbers because, methodology of fact gathering can be altered to suit a political agenda.
But anyway, here we go and for the record I'm not going to try and sort out the argument you made by individually quoting and responding to every paragraph I posted.
I'm pissed about successive gov'ts blowing our tax dollars like a drunken hooker with a stolen credit card. So your claim that if you don't spend money on repairs things fall apart is accurate, but wrong.
You can't spend money you don't have and if you've given your tax dollars away to some third world shithole you have one option left to fix your own issues. Raise taxes. But it would be much more fiscally prudent just to reallocate your current resources to reflect your own needs and not the needs of other countries.
In essence it's take care of your own first, not last and then if you have money left you can give to others. But, since you appear to disagree with that theory of economics let me ask. How much of your income do you give to your neighbours families so the fathers can go out drinking, buy new cars or squirrel it away so, when the wife kicks him out he's got a tidy sum to live off of because, that's what we're doing when we give money unregulated to third world shitholes?
Oh wait, the Canadian gov't is now going to monitor our tax dollar donations to other countries so the evil little shits and their cronies running these countries don't misuse them.
How about this. If they really wanted to ensure our tax dollars weren't being misused and actually doing some good maybe they should start at home by reinstating the First Nations Accountability Act.
But wait, it's just another case of Liberal hypocrisy. We'll try to make sure the people and not just the ruling class in places like Sub Saharan Africa get the money like their supposed to but fuck Canadians like Charmaine Stick and her friends.

For the record I never said cutting corporate or personal taxes was a key to fiscal freedom because without fair taxes we'd be in real trouble. I also agree that corporations are paying far to little in taxes which passes the tax burden onto Canada's middle class but here's the conundrum.
The problem with corporations and large companies is globalization. Ever since these large Corporations found that they can maximize profits by moving their factories and operations to third world shitholes and pay their employees nothing compared to do what a North American worker costs they're holding the trump card.
Their mantra is simple but effective. "Raise our taxes and we move, interfere in our business we move, over regulate us and we move". So, given the number of jobs and tax dollars we'd lose if we tried to tax them at a rate that's anywhere near fair makes that proposition untenable. Don't believe me? Just look at the cities and towns where the main industries have walked and you'll see that fairly taxing these entities can lead to more heartache, grief and less income than if you didn't them at all.
Let me give you an example about how I see taxing these big corporations works. Walmart collects donations for various charities from their customers, no problem but, really how much money does Walmart actually donate? So, if we all demanded that Walmart paid all the monies to the charities without getting it from their customers, how many charities would be shit out of luck because Walmart just wouldn't do it? So sadly everyone is happy to let Walmart take the credit for donating this money while the reality is something totally different.
Anyway this post has gotten longer than politicians expense account so, let me give you the CliffsNotes of my tax argument.
Stop giving our money away to other countries and then raising taxes while claiming poverty, it's bullshit and a misuse of our tax dollars;
Don't financially mortgage our countries financial future by borrowing money only to give it away;
Stop funding things we don't need as a country till all our major issues are fixed and that includes health care, social programs and infrastructure;
Stop using the Canadian Taxpayer as a fucking piggy bank with no bottom so you can do all of the above and finally i'll throw this one in;
Initiate a fair Federal Gov't recall process so we can get rid of the hogs at the trough who are the biggest offenders, Prime Ministers included.
Simple isn't it?
