ONE IN THREE HUNDRED...

ONE IN THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHT

There are 308 People elected to Canada’s 40th Parliament
But Only 1 that truly represents the Canadians that elected them.

A commentary on the Canadian Governments
on-going taxation of phantom income.

How many honest, hard working Canadians believe it is fair and proper for our government to levy taxes on money the taxpayer might have received but did not?

Put another way:- Would you agree to pay the government $100,000 real money on the $750,000 you might have received but didn’t?

My money says not one sane person in a million, with at least the I.Q. of a 5th grader, would support that kind of extortion.

And that bet includes every person holding positions in Canada’s government, past and present, Ministers of Finance and all.

Yet that is exactly what taxing phantom income is imposing upon many honest, hard working Canadians. And our elected representatives in the House of Commons are allowing it.

From the total number of people elected to Canada’s 40th Parliament there is only one Member, (M.P.) who took the time to investigate the devastating impact this outrageous tax policy has imposed on its victims and has taken any kind of action to have this tax atrocity corrected.

One in Three Hundred and Eight works out to:- 100 – (1/308x100) = 99.675 percent of those elected, to represent all Canadians, are willing to keep silent and live with this abuse of their constituents. Including our elected Prime Ministers past and present.

All 307 of these insensitive seat warmers are drawing above average pay checks and above average fringe benefits, at taxpayers expense, yet are content to sit on their abundantly padded seats and allow many of those very Canadians, who voted for them, to be robbed blind.

Is that the kind of representation you want from those you vote for? Think about it.

Read what the one real, elected representative, M.P. said to James Flaherty, Canada’s Minister of Finance, in the letter partially quoted in my previous posting:-
“IS TAX FAIRNESS FINALLY COMING FOR CANADIANS” March 1 2009

Do you think the Hon. Mr. Flaherty will listen and act on that message? Don’t bet on it.

Every Canadian, of voting age, should contact their M.P. and demand the taxing of phantom income be stopped at once, and those already victimized be fairly compensated.

That is the kind of representation every Canadian deserves and I would be the first person to support the M.P. that wrote that letter, if they ever ran for the office of Canada’s Prime Minister.

Money restored to its rightful owners would find its way back into Canada’s economy and do more to restore consumer confidence, and the reputation of Canada’s government, than twice the number of dollars applied in any other way.
