Be careful about voting for change

letter to the editor from Joe Sawchuk, Duncan - Be careful about voting for change

To the Editor,

The man who wants to be prime minister of Canada is making a lot of blunders in public.

NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says his child-care plan will pay out one million $15 per day in child-care spaces over 10 years, yet in reality if he would review his notes, that NDP child care plan is over eight years.

He says the present corporation tax rate is between 12 and 13 per cent, yet in reality, it is at 15 per cent. He proposes to raise the rate in the range of 18 to 19 per cent.

It is amazing of how a lot of Canadian taxpayers are wanting change and thinking of Thomas Mulcair to be that change without ever thinking of the consequences of that thought.

Many taxpayers work for corporations and if Mulcair is successful at becoming prime minister, many taxpayers will be heading to the unemployment office to make a claim for employment insurance.

The reason for this is that if the corporation tax goes up, the corporation has to find other means to cover for this increase. That would mean an immediate decrease in labour costs, which equates to a layoff slip.

Voting for a change to put yourselves out of work. You call that smart thinking? You have to have your heads examined, big time.

Once laid off, is Mulcair going to find you another job?

Remember there are always two sides to the ledger. Think before marking your voting ballot.

Remember there is no such thing as a perfect world, which is why the facts and reality is that you cannot have your cake and eat it, too.
