How Canada could cut its taxes down to a fraction of the current rate

(1/4) > >>

Lincoln:
Privatize the CBC - seriously, why should my family's tax dollars go toward a station we barely watch?

Scrap the gun registry - what a fucking waste of 2 billion dollars.

Quit making everything have to be in both French and English!! - It should only be in areas where it is of equal (or close to) bilingualism.

Abolish the Senate - they haven't rejected a bill in over 50 years. Strictly ceremonial and wasteful. Only Senator I respect is Anne Cools.

Abolish the Governor General and all Lieutenant Governors. Again, wasteful and strictly ceremonial.

Stop giving tax credits to every shitty TV show that comes along. I think all Canadian shows are receiving tax credits.

Crack down on people using tax dollars for their own personal vacation, eg) Sheila Copps and Adrienne Clarkson.

Allow for private delivery of health care, but only if it's made publicly available. This will make it more efficient and therefore less expensive to the taxpayers.

Quit making new seats in the House of Commons! These MPs are already making $110,000 a year and there's 308 (!) of them. We don't need anymore.

Quit giving tax dollars to political parties so that they can sway you with their propaganda. Make them raise their own money. (The US should adopt this too.)

Legalize marijuana and sell it through the government. And no, I'm not some tree hugging leftist hippie. This could save money through all the people we wouldn't have to jail and put through the courts, and then it would generate more revenue and therefore make less taxes to be paid.

Speaking of jail, cut back on all the programs and benefits they get in there. Those wastes of society should quit getting free education and decent living condition. They did the crime, PUNISH THEM.

I'll think of more.

Dont trip, Goodale says Tax cuts are a comin soon.

Lincoln:
Yeah I'm glad they're gonna give out some tax cuts, but I'd like to see Canada have a low tax rate.

If you wouldn't mind Tech, could you elaborate on your disagreements? I'd love to see your different viewpoints.

Trauma-san:
I wish I was Canadian and had a clue about any of this, I'd discuss it with you.  Tax Cuts sound good to me, though!

Suga Foot:
Is the BBC funded by the English gov't?
