Here is part of the plan thought of, but the government does not want to listen to history or to someone who has experiences in dealing with problems. A) Scrape the present taxation system completely, and create a flat tax of 17.5% across the board regardless of income. This would create an increase of take home money to the people of about 55.5% B) Ask all Canadians to accept a wage and salary freeze for a period of 3 years @ 2008 levels. (Except for politicians who truly care for this country and its people. see next point) C) Politician should be willing to be leaders in tackling this problem since they are part of the solution/issue. - Therefore they should take a pay cut of 34%. This would release Millions of dollars to be re-allocated. - Also, thier pension plans should fall in line with the guidline of the average Canadian based on the Maxium allowable under the Canada Pension Plan. - The removal of the 8 year clause for quailifing for full pension. D) implement a reward or penality system in regards to business/corporations as follows: Reward - no taxes to be applied up to an amount of $1 Billion of Gross profits if 25% of that amount is re-invested in Canada only (not oversea ventures). This would help create jobs, build infrastrues, broaden employment, educate workers, and help stimulate the economy of the future. (ie: expansions, r&d, new products, new program.) This also allows companies the pride of giving back to this country. Penality - 32% tax for any amount of money sent out of this country. This helps Canada because it is compensation for lost of present and future revenue. (ie: jobs lost or not created) To help equal out the playing field pass legislation to cap the gross mark-up/profit margins of selling goods 35.3%. This would create a competitive field for better quality and workmanship. Because the present taxation system would be scraped there would not be a manufacturing tax, HST, GST or PST. In regards to Provincial/Federal Crown Corporations they must follow the guidline just like everyone else. For students who recieve loans allow them the same amount of time to pay back the loan as it took them to get into debt interest free ie: if they borrowed for 5 year then allow them 5 years to pay it all back. Any outstanding balance after their interest free period, would then become due or interest will be added to that balance at prime + 1.5% This is just a part of what can be done when listening to the Canadian People.
