trigs;376367 wroteso happy PCs didn't win! tens of thousands of teachers (including myself and my gf) get to keep their jobs!
not very happy liberals have a majority though.
seriously, what is wrong with everyone? how can you not see that a left leaning government tries to help all people, rich or poor, while the more right you go the more the rich benefit. it's not rocket surgery here. (sorry milo. please feel free to tell me how wrong i am in this regard.)
LOL....I won't get too involved in this thread. But here it is in a nutshell. Government and public servants, teachers, police etc all run on tax payers money. Teachers pay taxes, but those taxes are just giving back into the tax pool a percentage of what was used to pay their salaries in the first place. The liberals policies have driven industry and jobs out of Ontario. Without OTHER jobs (non government, non teacher, non mr. policeman etc) there is no tax base. As the Liberals alienate more big businesses and other corporations etc by being forced to decrease incentives and increase their taxes , in order to pay the ever bloated public sector, there will be even fewer jobs to support the needed tax base to pay the tax funded public sector. Be clear, teachers, police etc contribute a net nothing to the tax base, because the taxes they pay in is already tax payers money that was used to pay them in the first place. .
Despite my rambling, it's quite simple. The money has to come from somewhere. Teachers, police, firemen all getting raises every contract while the private sector takes status quo or cuts doesn't work forever. In a perfect world everyone could just work for the government and get 2-3% raises yearly....until we all make $200,000 a year in 20 years, but in reality you need real jobs that pay real taxes (not recycled taxes) in order to support such a ridiculous idea.
There....broken....confusing rant over. :)
