Tales From The Tax Trough

We just held our media release for Tales from the Tax Trough VI! With budget preparations taking place across the country and in Ottawa, it is more important than ever to remind our politicians that we are watching them closely.

Check out our official press release, by clicking this link.

We have mailed copies of Tales from the Tax Trough VI to all federal MP’s, and we will be doing the same for their provincial counterparts. Please click here and donate to help us get the message out to politicians to stop wasting our hard-earned taxpayer dollars. During these budget preparations it is vital that we communicate the importance of fiscal responsibility to our politicians.

Best Regards,
Peter Coleman

i just read something that disturbs me a lot . the article said that the government (alberta government ) was planning on spending two billion dollars on carbon capture research .
this in a province where the people are as a people less concerned with climate change than in any other province .
no wonder stelmach is losing popularity

It is no wonder that voter turnout in Canada is declining when the taxpayer is made aware of excessive spending by our Federal and Provincial governments. I would imagine that there are and have been Canadians who have come to the conclussion that it makes no sense to vote when it really doesn’t matter what political party is in power because excessive needless spending will continue. The headline in my local New Glasgow Nova Scotia newspaper today reads: “Auditor cites inappropriate MLA expenditures.” One NDP MLA made the following statement: ‘”I think it is a good report. We’ll accept its recommendations. It’s a blueprint for us now to move forward.”‘ (referring to the Auditor General’s report). In other words - we have been caught so now we are going to change things. The inappropriate spending involves some members of all three parties. As of this writing not one of the MLAs will be charged for spending taxpayer money for personal items, most have either paid back the money or are going to pay back the money. Changes are taking place in Nova Scotia but it has not been because of our politicians coming to the realization that what they have been doing for years is wrong but becaue the public has been made aware of abuse. This is not the first incident that has been revealed that has brough about change and probably won’t be the last.

If the US and Canada keep going this way, pretty soon we’ll have a Weimar Republic treasury…

I think the US just strapped on 1.3 TRILLION in debt ceiling, so we’ll all be circling the drain soon enough.

The paper however will eventually be only useful to decorate your bathrooms.

Maybe we’re due for a good old fashioned tax payer revolution…

Douglas Wilson says:

When it comes to financial matters our morals are slipping badly led by politicians of every stripe, they are the leaders when it comes to corrupt spending of other peoples money, but lack the ability to lead our municipalities, provinces or the country for the benefit of all. Where have all the leaders gone?

I think it’s fair to say that the day has arrived for the Harper Govt. to fish or cut bait. After 4 years of drawing well-meant lines in the sand, over which the Opposition continually crosses with no consequences other than another “Oh yeah? Well cross THIS line!”, it’s time to play some offence.

It is time to pack in the coaxing and the various carrots & sticks which only incur greater amounts of disdain from the lefties and to put together a budget (maybe we’ll hear it on March 4th!!) that is truly a slash & burn spending reduction budget. It would then be the time to get every, living, breathing, like-minded Canadian to the polls in the ensuing election after the Loony Left votes down the budget on March 5th.

If the said budget gets rejected, and the Tories lose the subsequent election, at least Canadian conservatives would know the immutable reality: Canada is and will remain a small-s, socialist country for the next 50 years & it’s time to move the whole famn damily south, or to God knows where, perhaps some Pacific island.

In the coming election, small-c conservatives cannot afford to quibble among themselves about religious issues, abortion issues, Afghan detainees, crime issues, nanny-statist issues, climate change issues, whatever. If they don’t throw their united and total support behind the Harper government on election day, love ‘em or hate ‘em on their social agenda, they better get used to the Iggy’s & the Bob Rae’s & the Dalton McGuinty’s & the Jean Charest’s & the Danny Williams’s running the country until tax freedom day moves into August and a ridiculous portion of our gross income is confiscated to fund, among the many Canadian nanny-statist operating costs, the “Global Warming” reduction measures of developing countries as designated by the IPCC of the UN.

It’s that simple.

Ted Brewer says:

No one likes taxes. But we do need to increase taxes as well as to make some very serious cuts in government spending if we are ever going to get this nation back on track. We need to cut the perks for the government bureaucrats, the MLAs and the other leaches on the taxpayer’s money. Perhaps we even need a Liberal/left wing government for a few years so the voters can see for themselves how really badly Ignatz, Rae, Layton and such ilk will manage this country.

JIm says:

As long as we’re reminding politicians we will not accept any more superfluous taxing, let’s remind them (in no uncertain terms) that we flat out refuse to pay ANY tax into some foreign taxation regime. The UN and its EU globalist pimps in the G20 have tried for years to establish a tax for UN revenue.

Well, the latest incarnation of this is the UK/EU’s Gord Brown pimping a global bank tax at the next G20 which will fund some nebulous crisis fund revenue stream to the IMF.

Harper and Iggy should both be read the riot act on this and be reminded subjecting Canadian citizens to foreign taxation is unconstitutional and a one way ticket to the political bone pit. It would also open them to class actions.

Just a word of caution to them should suffice, but for what it’s worth I flatly refuse to pay any global warming justified tax or any global tax of any kind. Any Government that opens Canadians to this globalist racketeering should be met with massive non compliance on constitutional principle.
