Nov 1, 2006 will be remembered FOREVER as the day Harper and the
Canadian Government TERRORIZED every retiree and pensioner in Canada.
Economically, it is the equivalent to 9-11 (Sept. 11, 2001). Let’s call it
“Harper’s 11-1”.
OVERNIGHT, your so called “compassionate” government and “conservative”
leader (by lying about implementing the “trust tax”) just emptied the pockets of
pensioners to the tune of $36 BILLION. That was the amount that was lost by the
hard working citizens (mostly retired) by an unprecedented deliberate act of
arrogance and brutality. Why did this lying bureaucrat do this? So he and the
other “compassionate”, liberal bureaucrats could tax and collect more of YOUR
money. In effect, he destroyed $36 BILLION of your or your neighbor’s retirement
in order to collect $500 million with this tax. What a price to pay!
Having lied about not implementing the “trust tax”, Harper is now claiming
his “trust tax” will be more “fair” to everyone. He claims he can now reduce
taxes on “low income” retirees (if they weren’t low income before Nov 1,
2006….they are now). The fact of the matter is that Harper’s reduction in taxes
for “low income” retirees, if any, is just a bone he and the other
“compassionate”, liberal bureaucrats are throwing your way. It is MINISCULE. It
is just a way to appease those who are gullible enough to believe him again!
Would you trust this guy again?
Lies have consequences. And, boy did Harper’s lie set up every pensioner
and retiree that believed in this deceitful man. After he promised not to tax
Canadian Trusts (and was elected on that promise) pensioners and retirees began
pouring their life savings into Canadian Trusts. They trusted this guy to keep
his word! They finally thought, here is someone to believe in. Here is a guy who
believes the citizens shouldn’t be taxed to death like the “compassionate”,
liberal bureaucrats always do. AND, BOY WERE THEY WRONG!!! Not only did Harper
set up the retirees big time, he unplugged their life support…..to the tune of
$36 BILLION!!!!
Harper (and his co-conspirators) will go down in Canadian history as the
economic terrorists they are. How, in good conscience can this man sleep at
night knowing that he destroyed the retirement hopes and dreams of our most
vulnerable citizens…..our senior citizens.
This will be Harper’s legacy. Let’s call it “Harper’s 11-1” (as opposed to
9-11) in remembrance of those who gave their faith, their souls, and their hard
earned retirement to Harper’s broken promise.
