It isn't, never has been...and if people ever really come to grips with that fact alone, then government would definitely be where it should be: very afraid of the people.Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-20451709305393730602010-06-17T00:12:34.822-07:002010-06-17T00:12:34.822-07:00I was surprised that "Bob from Burnaby" ...I was surprised that "Bob from Burnaby" didn't call in as well. Oh, I forgot, he's a little busy right now with a more pressing matter. Other than Sam, it seemed to me that other PAB types had to pick up the slack in stacking the call board.<br /><br />What is really scary is that she was in cabinet and even served as the Deputy Premier. It makes one wonder about the quality of politicians we get to choose from. <br /><br />I heard some clips of Hansen stating that 1.4 million BCers will be getting HST rebate cheques. A couple of weeks ago the BC Government website on the HST stated that 1,1 million BCers would be getting HST rebates. Now either 300,000 people became poorer in very short order or Hansen is doing exactly what he is accusing the NOHST camp of doing.<br /><br />Something has really been bothering me about sales type taxes in general. What is the logic of implementing a tax such as the GST, PST or HST if the government has to then turn around and issue rebates to various segments of society? Think about it. The government has to employ who knows how many extra people just to deal with sorting out who qualifies for a rebate and how much they should get etc. It seems counter-productive to me. I guess it may buy some votes, but in my world, it is totally illogical. I don't know what percentage of Canadians get a GST rebate cheque 4 times a year from the feds, but with 25% of BC's population qualifying for a HST rebate cheque every three months, one has to question the wisdom of implementing it.<br /><br />We all realize that without taxation government could not function, but I believe that income tax is much more efficient system and could fund everything if applied correctly.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-161986041008539222010-06-16T22:11:53.700-07:002010-06-16T22:11:53.700-07:00BTW, it's good to see that you posted one of t...BTW, it's good to see that you posted one of the HANDSOME Bros. pix for your post!
