Also, Canadians have voted against passing costs off before - they voted for massive deficit cuts (and a deficit is passing taxes to the next generation - which sometimes makes sense if the next generation benefits but not at the rate we were going).<br /><br />So corporate taxes are the lowest in a very long time and lower than most other places and Canadians think that this is silly. Makes sense to me.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231673502029402930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-34327075027176454132011-02-01T19:20:17.234-05:002011-02-01T19:20:17.234-05:00You should write more letters Gerry.. good work in...You should write more letters Gerry.. good work indeed!

Taxes are a cost for a company, like labour and raw materials. They are part of the selling price. Higher taxes mean higher prices, which may mean fewer sales and fewer jobs if the company has to compete with imports that have lower taxes and other costs.Libertarian CFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917266638134062541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-41274714162505092262011-02-01T10:45:58.399-05:002011-02-01T10:45:58.399-05:00Good stuff.

I'm sick of hearing from the opposition and even from right-wing talk show hosts that banks and oil companies (I have no connection to either) are GOUGING us. Those corporations employ people, individuals who need a job to feed their families.<br /><br />Then there's the columnists who sneer at the Conservatives for branding the corporate tax cuts as cuts for "job creators." Of course TorStar and GlobeMedia are NOT corporations, right? They're non-profits doing altruistic work, eh?<br /><br />-- Gabby in QCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-38734209689491711752011-02-01T09:44:40.076-05:002011-02-01T09:44:40.076-05:00You're right.
