Your mutual funds just tanked and the global economy just lost another 10 trillion dollars and YOU are worried about MY policies, lol.
I'm just wondering how many hopitals you could have built with the tax dollars that our government could have collected from the dollars that disappeared from our pensions and investments and mutual funds....
Lets see, 10,000,000,000,000 globally (give or take IDK for sure).
lets say 1% of that is Canadian owned
100,000,000,000 - hundred billion
lets say that was all cashed in today, if that were possible, and we could tax it at a reasonable 10%.
10,000,000,000.00 - ten billion
WOW, so it is actually healthy for us Lefties to have strong economies, corporations, jobs for it's citizens so we can pay taxes and pay for schools, hospitals, roads, inner city lunch programs, sports, ...
IN the meantime, it is good, as riderain explained, for the right to have weak economies and conflict so that people will keep them in power, because of course in troubled times people LEAN RIGHT!
So who do you think has the best intentions for the citizens of this country in mind?
