So if 75% of the people in Ontario contribute only 12% of income taxes, while the top 10% pay 75%, shouldn't that mean the top ten percent should get titles and special privileges or something? Should the rest bow to them when they see them in the street? Should the top 10% get extra votes come election time? I mean, it's their money that's being spent, right? Shouldn't they have more say in it than you pukes in the 75% who contribute so little?

Nope - the 10% should be paying homage to the 75% for helping them make all that money. They got rich off the efforts of the 75%.

Without workers to help nourish that tree, the sap at the top of that job tree dies.Jobs do not come from the Job tree. How many people did you say you employ, again?
“This is all about who you represent,” Mr. Dewar (NDP) said. “We’re (NDP) talking about representing the interests of working people and everyday Canadians and they [the Conservatives] are about representing the fund managers who come in and fleece our companies and our country.

So you employ nobody. You should watch this. But, it is nearly two hours long and you'd lose interest...so don't bother. Hey...are those Starbucks coupons still good? Perhaps we should go grab a java before hitting the protest this afternoon.

Breaking News: Conservative Think Tank run and funded by wealthy elite for the wealthy elite says that taxes on the wealthy are no good. 
Odd... I seem to remember people saying that the top tax rate was getting close to 50% and that the taxes wouldn't amount to much anyways so we shouldn't bother.
Now... they pay too much?
Are conservatives so dumb that they'll fall for this doublespeak? Sadly, yes.
I bet these numbers include business taxes... shockingly, poor people don't have money to run businesses. You can clearly work out the personal income tax rates.
Hey, excuse me while I toss out garbage predictions in favour of the wealthy because I'm funded by the wealthy "The government hoped the new tax — an extra 2% on incomes over $500,000, which translates into a 3.1% increase when an additional surtax is applied — would raise $470 million. Laurin estimates the number will be closer to $450 million initially, falling to zero by 2019 as wealthy taxpayers adjust, and a net loss of $200 million by 2027."
I also like how the author just discredits everyone who doesn't agree by saying that people don't understand economics. Nice added touch to an obvious propaganda piece of no value.

Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies. Modern conservatives don't follow reason, they don't analyse the situation, they make up an ideological solution and then attempt cram that solution into a problem that doesn't exist.

I'm self employed. You 'workers' just get in my way. I only take partners, thanks. But, I hear McDonalds IS hiring. Hiring right now.
