Stop picking on Morneau

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Seriously. I won't attempt to Defend him. And he's probably as corrupt as every other liberal. But what message is this sending to any potential future politicians?
If you ever had any business Experience ever tried to minimize your taxes within any legal means possible, You'd better not get into politics because they'll tear you apart over it. All we will be left with who want to be politicians is drama teachers with no business experience, and no concept of where the "other people's money " actually comes from. At least Morneau has shown that he understands the disincentive of taxes.
How many farmers would like to be finance minister after how this has turned out? Sometimes the saying you get the government you deserve seems to be all too true.

He won't last much longer, I asked him to quit finance and leave politics...

Alberta5 Bill C-27 will benefit 4 companies in Canada. Morneau-Chappel is one of these 4 companies. Hard to defend. His shares in Morneau-Chappel were held in an Alberta numbered company with 3 shareholders Bill Morneau, his wife and a numbered company in Ontario. Held in an Alberta company because of lower taxes. Do I think he should resign? Yes. Do you raise an interesting question Alberta 5? Yes.

One word.....HYPOCRITE

Who is the hypocrite me, Morneau or all of us on Agriville ?

The only people who are beyond reproach are those who have never done anything to avoid taxes, who therefore have also never worked or created a job or owned a business. These are the very qualities of the people who want to take away from those of us who are productive to give to those who aren't, is that what we are encouraging?

I hate to say it but I'd rather have someone competent but lining their own pockets with a few millions in that position, Then someone completely inept stealing billions in the name of socialism. Which doesn't say much for the current state of affairs now does it?

I say it's our duty as citizens of Canada to avoid paying taxes considering how the government spends them. The money I save on taxes gets spent here in Canada.
how much of our dollars get sent overseas without a clue on where/who/what it goes.

Not you AF5..... i just think people who take on the roll of public figures should at least keep their nose clean, and if it's dripping with snot before you take on the roll, then at least wipe it.

Blaming administrative oversights and being guilty of what they are accusing others of doing within the rules of the land are not excuses.

Seems all these loop-holes, created for themselves, were fine until average people who were successful by working hard, investing alot of time and money in education, or taking huge financial risks learned how to use them!

Hypocrites!!!!

[furrowtickler]

Sorry but to impose tax changes that directly benifit oneself is wrong .. and unethical period . He should be booted from office for this whole scam that will take money for average taxpayers who can't afford to give any more to line his own pocket .
Also to parade around with JT selling this to all Canadians .. really ??
