Salutin has been hanging out wit...Thanks for this.<br /><br />Salutin has been hanging out with the wealthy elites too long, and obviously has too much money. Perhaps he is angling for a senate seat like Mike Duffy. His column was full of BS Liberal propaganda and illogical, self-contradicting gibberish. Perhaps senility has caused Salutin to forget the differences between right-wing and left-wing positions.<br /> <br />Wanting tax increases for high-income people and profitable corporations, while wanting financial breaks to the workers and small businesspeople is not right wing. Workers are the makers; capitalist parasites are the takers. Small businesses are the job-creators; big multinational corporations are the job-destroyers.<br /><br />Wanting to cut wasteful spending is not right wing. When tax money is wasted, it is diverted from health care, education, infrastructure and everything else we need. Left-leaning candidates at all levels need to emphasize their opposition to the waste of tax dollars, instead of ignoring it and letting right-wing candidates own that issue.<br /><br />Unprincipled Liberals pull this trick every election, claiming that a vote for the NDP is really a vote for the Conservatives, due to vote splitting, and claiming that the NDP is actually the same as the Cons because they both oppose the useless, corrupt Liberals (but conveniently ignore the fact that the two parties criticize the Liberals from different directions). <br /><br />The Libs are the ones who are almost like the Cons, with their corporate tax cuts, no-strings-attached corporate subsidies, privatization schemes, and increased fees and taxes for those on the low end of the economic spectrum. The only thing that Liberals ever offer to progressive-minded voters is "We aren't as bad as the Conservatives".<br /><br />Hopefully Ontario voters won't fall for it again.The Ranting Canadianhttp://rantingcanadian.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
