Politics-- Who is crooked?

[agchat]

So, if most of government is crooked and cannot be trusted, according to alot on Agriville, then let me ask you this. For those on here that have cheated on there income tax, even just a little bit where does that put you? For those that have tried to doctor grain samples, where does that put you? For those who have tried taking advantage of family, neighbors, or friends, where does that put you?
If yes to any of the above, then would you too not make a good politician?

Everyone: it is human nature. Add to your list: abuse marked fuel. Every farmer is guilty of that one especially in AB.

And the moral of the story is--- quit with the nit-picking of politicians, everyone is guilty no matter how small, let's concentrate on what the politicians are doing now and what they're trying to legislate now. IMO anyways.

Feeling a little guilty wiseguy?

I agree Stonepicker some very wise words, personal attacks are of no benefit when debating government policy!

When you see some of the decisions government make with your money, is it any wonder...

Let's just say I wouldn't enjoy a CRA audit but it is the last thing that keeps me awake at night.

Made it through a GST audit barely scathed and the same could probably be said for a tax audit.

Do you manage your business to avoid paying taxes or to make money?

[seabass]

Not me. Never cheated or lied. Father O'Leary aint got nothin on me. Potsy Trudeau is lowering my income tax rates and says not to worry about balancing my books. It will take care of itself. Everything is sunshine and rainbows. With that kind of logic who cares about the truth.

Look at current deficits and interest cost payments. That's the god damn gorilla in the room none of them talk about.

The bonds are resold after maturity.

A long long time ago I was watching the daily show way before John stewart was on it and they where doing a comedy mock up of an old American farmer don't remember exactly what it was about but at the end for some reason he looked up into the sky and said"when people find out what they have done to this country there will be blood in the streets"

Always stuck with me

Which is why the BOC is talking up negative interest rates???!

We are heading into very interesting times!

Political change means economic upheaval... Carbon taxes mean a whole new set of opportunities... for those with imaginations! Win Win is possible... good ideas and well planned enterprises... which honestly work for a better future.. CAN win!
