rip off consumersThis morning’s Time Colonist newspaper has a cute little graph, about how this new harmonized tax will be of benefit to business.  Course it makes it sound like business is this benevolent organization, but we all know the truth.  They aren’t.

To begin with, the misconception in the graph is that business pays PST on raw materials it uses to make the finished goods. BULLSHIT!   They are PST EXEMPT which was one of the arguments given WHEN MULRONEY GAVE US THE GST SCAM.   The whole REBATE BULLSHIT was simply a way for the Government to scam money and make it sound like even business was in the same boat as the consumer.

BOTTOM LINE IS THE CONSUMER PAYS & KEEPS PAYING.

The whole idea that consumers will benefit by gaining cheaper products is absolute BULLSHIT.   Business that now pays PST and won’t under the HST, isn’t about to suddenly reduce their prices one single penny.   WHEN THE GST WAS IMPLEMENTED, THAT WAS THE SAME ARGUMENT & PROVED TO BE TOTALLY 100% FALSE.

PRICES DID NOT GO DOWN TO THE CONSUMER

In addition, items that the consumer buys today that is PST EXEMPT, NO LONGER WILL BE. Common Sense tells you that if stuff you bought had no PST and now does, it COSTS MORE TO BUY IT.

This is a bad tax, that benefits some businesses, while bringing others to it’s knees. 

TIME TO TOSS THESE FUCKERS OUT OF OFFICE!

We should run Stephen Harper out of the country, along with the other BOUGHT AND PAID FOR POLITICIANS.

You know it is funny. The Liberals in BC got rid of Gordon Wilson as leader, because he had an affair and yet their new leader, Gordon Campbell got convicted of DRUNK DRIVING and remains as leader.   In the US  Gary Hart was forced to drop out of the Presidential Race for having an affair, but Bill Clinton is still a popular Politician who had an affair in the OVAL OFFICE. Not to mention how he kept lying to the public for nine long months.

GO FIGURE…      TIME TO FIND FRESH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SERVE US, NOT THEIR POCKET BOOKS OR THEIR ADDICTIONS TO BOOZE, SEX, & POWER.
