Daddy Dalton wants to merge sales tax with GST=HST

More TAXES fron the Ban Man.
Why not start stealing citizens houses and sell it back at a fraction of the market value, with the false pretense that your saving lives, you done it with HTA 172.
"The Dalton Gang" strikes again!



The Ontario Liberal government is expected to introduce harmonization of the province's sales tax with the GST in its budget on Thursday to ease costs for struggling businesses and stimulate the province's sagging economy during the global recession.

Opposition and business leaders have long pushed for the measure, arguing the province's corporate taxes are too high, hinder investment and make the province less competitive.

Premier Dalton McGuinty hinted the move was in the works after admitting he had heard from numerous business groups advocating a merger of the taxes.

Provincial Finance Minister Dwight Duncan has already revealed the coming budget will bring Ontario into a deficit of $18 billion over the next two years, along with a $27.5-billion infrastructure program to create jobs in the wake of hundreds of thousands of jobs lost in the province's manufacturing sector.

But after a series of good-news pre-budget announcements on infrastructure and education funding, the premier cited the need for budget secrecy for his inability to answer opposition MPPs' questions Tuesday on tax harmonization.

New tax would 'nickel-and-dime families': NDP leader
During question period at the legislature, the NDP pointed out the single sales tax would also mean consumers would be left paying higher taxes on basic goods such as diapers, shoes and children's vitamins.

New Democrat Leader Andrea Horwath expressed concern the merged tax would "nickel-and-dime families."

"These are all the kinds of items, the kinds of things people buy every single week," Horwath told the legislature. "Especially in times of difficulty, families do not need this extra tax."

McGuinty acknowledged the move could increase the price of some consumer goods currently exempt from the PST. But he said Ontarians would eventually understand the government's need to make hard and unpopular decisions.

"What Ontarians want us to do is to do what's right," McGuinty said. "I don't think that we've been put in a position of government to choose what's easy."

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce has estimated merging the taxes would save companies about $100 million a year, but acknowledges the price of some household goods would increase in the short-term.

Another proposed TAX from "The Dalton Gang"

I know it's hard to believe, but Daddy Dalton is trying to put forth legislation for a new TAX, when a home is sold!
In such trying times when the economy is in the gutter and things don't look all that great for many people, here comes Daddy Dalton with a new scheme to grab some quick cash off the backs of the citizens of Ontario with the GREEN label on it, on top of Miller's Land transfer TAX for new home owners, all this because of the concern his Mother has with her energy bill.

It's still being debated in QP, some of the details are still being worked out, but it will cost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS per home for an audit, to have someone come to the house being sold and test the home for efficiency.

Get off your ass Pinocchio and take Geppetto with you, and do something for Ontario instead of making Ontario pay for your long list of short comings!

I have no doubt this will get shot down, but then again I have been wrong many times before!

Thank God for Laurie Scott!

The Dalton Gang blowing dough!

When I was kid in 80s up at our cottage on Dickey Lake, Coe Hill, I would laugh at my Grandfather with his glass of rye and coke ranting about politicians and the way they spend our money, from Trudeau to Mulroney, no one was safe!


It should come as no shock to anyone at the way our elected Provincial goverment spends our tax dollars, it seems its a bottomless pit when it comes to throwing our cash around.

23.1 million dollars spent to get 3.5 million from numerous people and companys to preserve Ontario's good name, no wonder The Dalton Gang fought for 4 years to keep this from the public!

Perhaps The Dalton Gang did'nt see that the citizens were getting shafted, I assume Bently was busy illegally crushing cars and trying to find out what a Pit Bull actually looked like!

Enough of you and the idiots that follow you McGuinty.
