Press Review: Belleville and St-Georges
Last Tuesday (January 25), I was invited to speak at a meeting of the Sales and Advertising Club in Belleville, Ontario. The point of my presentation was to show that when corporations are less burdened by taxes and better able to produce goods and services, we all benefit: as workers who get paid better; as consumers who get more for their money; and as investors who get a better return.
This is why the Liberals and NDP are misguided when they say they might vote against the coming budget because they oppose the planned corporate tax cuts. As I said before, this tax should be cut even further and eventually abolished, just like the federal tax on capital was abolished a few years ago, because it is a dumb tax on a wealth-creating process.
The local newspaper, the Belleville Intelligencer, covered the event and published this report: W. Brice McVicar, “Corporate tax benefits all: Bernier. Conservative MP speaks in Belleville.”
On Thursday (January 27), I gave another speech at the St-Georges Chamber of commerce in my riding of Beauce. I spoke about how excessive money creation by central banks brings about inflation, encourage debt and provoke cycles of booms and busts. It was more or less the same speech I gave last year at the Economic Club in Toronto.
That event also got coverage from the local media:
Frédéric Poulin, “Maxime Bernier veut la fin de l’inflation et le retour à l’étalon-or,” L’Éclaireur-Progrès.
Éric Gagnon Poulin, “Maxime Bernier s’insurge contre les banques centrales,” ÉditionBeauce.com.
Jean-François Fecteau, “Maxime Bernier s’enflamme contre l’inflation à Saint-Georges,” EnBeauce.com.
You can leave a response.
Money creation as a result of excess government spending is destroying the first world.
Ce qui est honteux, c’est de défendre la position d’une réduction de l’impôt des entreprises sans soulever que ce cadeau est donné par un gouvernement qui financera cette mesure en demandant aux contribuables ordinaires d’éponger la perte de revenus du gouvernement. Par ailleurs, le gouvernement est en ce moment en situation de déficit, c’est donc dire que les Canadiens devront payer plusieurs fois, parce que les intérêts s’ajoutent à ce que l’on doit.
Dans ce contexte, la population canadienne paie en définitive pour accroitre les bénéfices des pétrolières de l’Alberta.
Quelle vision!
D’accord pour l’abolition des impôts des entreprises à 2 conditions :
1. Imposer fortement les capitaux quittant pour l’étranger.
2. Eliminer la totalité des subventions.
THIS is what common sense LEADERSHIP looks like … merci M Bernier … bravo …
As long as confidence in currencies is shaken, because of inflated asset values attributable to toxic assets (and the reassessment hasn’t taken place yet), tax policy only treats the symptoms.
We need currency that is backed more solidly than by the hot air coming from the central banks. Then we need to make sure that the less abuse of the pocketbook takes place, for as long as politicians conclude that the only way to power is via spending more and more money that once belonged to the taxpayer – all we will get is more of the same. Which is simply unacceptable.
