The Spendometer Anti Dix campaign. This is a winner

[DIBdaQUIB]

The BC Debt has doubled since the Liberals took power in 2001. And it's increased a staggering amount since Christy took power.

The truth hurts.

[inane]

Just like how Dix is focusing on Clark, amiright?

[DIBdaQUIB]

I was talking in general. I never named you. But anyone who thinks the BC Liberals care about spending tax payers money wisely is in denial.

[bolt]

The message is Dix is scary that will put us in debt and kill the economy so we should play it safe and keep the same corrupt, stale, hyporcite debt creaters, hst lovers in power.

[EmployeeoftheMonth]

The more they focus on Dix, the less they have to say themselves. Talk about stale.

[Heretic]

I've never seen a more desperate bunch of low lifes posing as politicians trying so hard to hold on to power in my life as these BC Liberals. Just gonna make the NDP win so much sweeter

[inane]

Can you pay my increase in taxes then?

[Heretic]

Why is it when the Liberals increase taxes and other fees it is 'fiscal management', but when the NDP do it it's scary?

[inane]

Because the Liberals are the lesser of 2 evils.

[Heretic]

Yep...a NDP government sounds wonderful....Not!

"Finance Minister Mike de Jong called the NDP’s overall plan bad for the province, saying it would send negative signals to the investment community.

“This is a bad choice, the kind we have seen in the past from the NDP,” he said.

“The tax increases in a variety of areas will ensure we go back to the days when investment fled or avoided British Columbia and when people fled or avoided British Columbia.”

De Jong said the plan would push up the province’s debt-to-GDP ratio, sparking a downgrade in the province’s credit rating.

“B.C.’s credit rating will be downgraded,” he said. “That is a certainty.”

Conservative Party leader John Cummins said the NDP is “living in a fantasy world, where tax increases on the very businesses that provide jobs to British Columbians somehow helps the economy.

“As if this job-killing tax increase on job-providers isn’t enough, the NDP also plans to raise income tax and expand the carbon tax, both of which will negatively impact jobs and the economy,” Cummins said in a news release."

[Heretic]

So you lie to pretend the NDP are somehow scarier by increasing taxes, even though you know the Liberals (and any other party) does the same?

[Gross-Misconduct]

You're reading comprehension skills appear to match your economic acumen.

Nobody has said they think the Liberals are doing a great job spending tax payer's dollars wisely. Some of us just don't see how spending an additional $2.3 Billion solves that problem.

As you seem to be the one most concerned about the spend-thrift Liberals, perhaps you can enlighten us as to how increasing taxes and plunging the taxpayers deeper into debt wil alleviate the waste of government.

[inane]

Clark stresses that if the Liberals are re-elected for a fourth term, her government would hold the line on taxes and pay down provincial debt.

Clark also says that — contrary to the NDP — her government would not expand the carbon tax or institute a capital tax on financial institutions.

Other highlights from the platform include:

A five-year freeze on personal income tax, with the exception of the highest income earners.

A $250-per-child back-to-school tax credit for parents

A $500 tax credit for teachers who coach.

Small business tax rate dropping from 2.5 per cent to 1.5 per cent as of 2017.

Corporate tax rate will come down to 10 per cent by 2018.

The Liberals are also promising to train more doctors and increase hospice spaces in the province, expand the B.C. Training Tax credit, open a B.C. film office in L.A. and conduct annual forest industry trade missions to Asia.

The plan also includes putting a new TransLink funding formula to a referendum in conjunction with the 2014 civic election.

Edit: how did I lie? Were you here the last time the NDP was in power?

[Heretic]

By lie I mean go on and on about how scary the NDP are because they'll raise taxes when ignoring the fact that any party would do that. Not so much a lie I suppose, more wilful ignorance? Take your pick.

As for your bolded part, the NDP are proposing an increase on the highest income earners too, so again, I wonder what the difference is?

Where is their platform summary?

Not willful ignorance - speculation based on past history.

[Heretic]

You are quoting the Liberals making negative comments about the NDP? Tell me your not serious

[Heretic]

The personal income tax rate on net taxable income earned above $150,000 per year would also rise to 19 per cent from 16.8 per cent, but only on earnings above that threshold.

Not the full platform, but speaks to this question directly.

Or from the NDP webpage itself: http://www.bcndp.ca/...orm-fiscal-plan

High income earners’ personal income tax increased.
 Effective January 1, 2014, the top two per cent of high income earners in BC will see an increase to 19 per cent on taxable individual income above $150,000. This measure will add $50 million in revenue in 2013-14, $200 million in 2014-15 and $240 million in 2015-16.

Again, I wonder why you speculate based on past history when you have the Liberals here and now doing the same thing?

[inane]

What are you speculating on if not past history?

[Gross-Misconduct]

You are face palming me cause I provided a source? Tell me your not serious and actually have something to contribute?

This is an election - only the ignorant choose to review one party and not even read about the others.
