$10 billion
$10,000,000,000
That's a lot of money when you think about it. That's about $300 for every Canadian, or $650 per taxpayer. Geez, I sure could use $650 right now. How about you? What would you spend it on? Or would you pay down some of your own debt, or invest it and make it grow? RRSP contribution would be nice. Then you write off some of your income against it and save even more money.
You see how this works now?
And $10 billion is THIS year's "surplus". From the Liberal government who told you last election there wasn't enough for tax cuts.
Well, simply put. Fuck 'em. It's my fucking money and I want it back right fucking now. And why are they calling it THEIR surplus, like they OWN the fucking money. Oh yeah, it's real hard to slave me into automatically taking money off of my paycheques to pay for their stupid programs that don't work; to use MY money to pay for buying votes; scandals galore, the list goes on.
Oh and people say, we should pay down the debt. Well, excuse me, I wasn't a fucking taxpayer when the debt got cranked up during the 70's and 80's, so why the fuck do I gotta wait around until I get my goddamn money back? Give it to me now so I can spend it at businesses which will create better jobs and more taxpayers. THEN you can use those extra taxpayers to pay down the fucking debt.
And it's not a gov't surplus. It's what they owe us this year ... at least! On top of all the bloody waste and mismanagement in the bureaucracy, as pointed out by our Auditor General every single year, there's probably another $20 billion (at least!) kicking around. Then there's the $40 billion EI surplus. Uh, hello? The gov't is obviously taking in way too much. But do we see a reduction on our ..er.. reductions? Fuck no. They think it's their money.
How much money does the fucking government need to not solve society's problems? Apparently, in a country of 33 million, they need $200 billion to figure it out.
Tax cuts now! Give the gov't less money and let them figure out how to reorganize themselves, because well, they keep taking more and more from you, and they don't give two shits how you have to adjust your life.

I agree completely...surprising considering you and I are often quite far apart politically.
Well, if you agree with my views on taxes, then you'll know that all my other views on policy stem from this root libertarian policy of low low taxes. I think you and I are closer than you think.
Maybe instead of graduated taxation by income they should consider graduated income by age ...
By age? That's discrimination. A better idea to give everyone an equal headstart is to not tax someone on the first $100,000 they make.
The tax savings would pay for student loans and allow new young families to develop sooner as putting a down payment on a house would also be much easier.
It's becoming difficult for young people to buy a new house (not a condo, but a house), put money into RSPs, and buy basic essentials.
By age - tax those who caused the tax in the 70's more ... then you wouldn't have to deal with it.
