Get ready for the fear-mongering and intimidation

The citizens of BC are once again in for a government brainwashing blitz that would make Joseph Goebbels blush, they will be helped by the corporate media moguls once again out to protect their $2,000,000,000 tax windfall. 

The figures out there are laughable at best and criminal at worse, $350 per family they tell us.

Irrefutable fact: $2,000,000,000 Tax Shift, defiantly not revenue neutral.

Irrefutable fact: BC population 4,510,858 men, women, children, babies divided into $2,000,000,000 =  $443 per man, women, child, baby.

Irrefutable fact: Registered voters in BC 3,049,152 who for the most part are the wage earners also divided into $2,000,000,000 = $656 per registered voter.

Irrefutable fact: Using either of these figures gives you from $886.00 to $1312.00 for a family of two and another $443.00 to $656.00 for each additional family member. 

You could be even more than those figures if you are a senior or handicapped and have to hire a tradesperson to for example renovate a home or put a roof on your home or have a medical condition that that requires registered massage therapy to control your condition. 

The Registered Massage Therapy I use to control my Fibromyalgia now includes $1019 a year in HST taxes. 

My wife and I are personally already way over the $1312.00 figure as I not only have health problems but am also a senior and had to pay tradesmen to renovate my home which amounts to a 140 percent tax increase. 

In most countries and all through history a 140 percent tax increase would result in revolution and heads on pikes at the city gates, but here in BC it is just another day in LALA land.

It was only 10 years ago when we were hammered with a similar 2 $ Billion dollar tax shift, courtesy of Gordon Campbell and his so called Liberals.
