WHAT WOULD PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAY IF HE KNEW?
A commentary on the meeting of the U.S. President with Canada’s Prime Minister.

Thursday, February 19, 2009 a historic meeting is scheduled to take place on Capitol Hill
Ottawa Canada.

Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America, and the first non-white person to achieve this position, is scheduled to meet with Stephen Harper, Prime Minister for Canada’s 40th Parliament.

This visit is planned to be a very brief, made more, to show the world that the new President United States of America has a high regard for Canadians and Canada.

Some of the topics they will likely discuss are easy to predict. The North America Free Trade Agreements, (NAFTA), will most certainly be mentioned. Fossil energy supplies, available to the U.S. from Canada and what can be done to clean up “dirty oil” production to keep the world a bit greener are other hot items sure to be mentioned.

Then of course is the question of how best to co-ordinate Canadian and American economic stabilization and recovery programs -- is a sure fire item for discussion.

But interference in the social policies of one countries government, by the leader of another country, is certainly not up for discussion. International diplomacy and courtesy forbid it.

In spite of the much worse financial situation facing the United States government, however, the U.S. has enacted legislation to end the unjust, unfair, and abusive taxation of nonexistent, (phantom), income. In addition all related outstanding taxes and penalties have been revoked and taxpayers already victimized are being compensated. Ref:- www.fair-iso.org and www.reformAMT.org

The U.S. government likely realizes there is no more effective way to stabilize their economy and restore consumer confidence than to put more discretionary funds back into the hands of their rightful owners, e.g. taxpayers who were unjustly taxed on nonexistent income.

The Canadian government, on the other hand, claims to be much better off, in the area of our current financial and economic circumstances, but for some unknown reason has continued to financially abuse many honest, hard working Canadians, by taxing them, even into financial distress, on the basis of phantom income. There is absolutely no justification for this callous abuse of Canadian taxpayers what-so-ever. Ref:- www.cfet.ca

WHAT WOULD PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAY IF HE KNEW? --
Answer:- “Nothing”.
President Obama is likely too much of a gentleman and true statesman to embarrass the head of another county’s government.

But, if I were he, I would be thinking many things. None of which would be complimentary to Canada’s past and present governments and/or Prime Minister’s.

And he likely does know because he keeps on top of world affairs.
