Harper Government's New Green Plan "A Total Fraud Designed To Deceive The C

Gore of all people, knows how the public bandwagon works. So does the good doctor. Harper is still learning and will have to come up with an awesome platform, inorder to get those votes next election. David Suzuki, on the otherhand is looking towards lucrative invitations to speak at the next ralley. We, in the meanwhile, can do our best by buying the latest gizmo and tossing out the old one. We can all sit at home knowing that we are doing our bit by putting our tincans in the blue box at curbside.

My Ol' Daddy subscribed to the BBB axiom (Bullshit Baffles Brains). Harper learned that very early in <u>Creative Bookkeeping 101</u>....and observed the great effect the Liberals put it to during their 13 (or so) years of "tenureship".....(you have learned well, grasshopper!)<p>---<br>"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." <br />

The fact how the economists, including Harper, big business and the so called "right wing conservatives" all over the world, are trying to talk their way around and out of the fact of daily growing ecological destruction is the best proof of:

"Wealth can not be created, only taken from other sectors, the environment and the future".

If wealth could be created, we wouldn't have growing worldwide poverty and ecological destruction, while the number of billionaires is increasing every year.

"... putting our tincans in the blue box at curbside."

Instead of a "deposit" tax, the people who profit from recycling tin cans should pay us to hand them over. If tin cans are such a problem, then why are they being made at all? Think about what makes up most of your garbage. Is all of that corporate packaging and are all of those useless artifacts you bought really necessary? Despite the useless of very pretty and highly disposable packaging and "Made in China" throw-a-way junk, there's no shortage of it to be found. It is the consumer that's made to pay for it all. If we don't buy the junk, then we won't have to throw it away, but everyone wants to maintain the status quo, even increase it. If we can feel good about our addiction to consumerism, then it'll be fine to keep it up, and that's what everyone wants, so we see the worlds worse polluters teamed up on the same side as those who claim to be fighting to save the world.

If we can pollute less, then we can sell more of it, YE$!

"Wealth can not be created, only taken from other sectors, the environment and the future".

Words of wisdom. Ed, can you point me to a source that explains your economic theories in some detail?

"Instead of a "deposit" tax, the people who profit from recycling tin cans should pay us to hand them over..."

In BC we pay an "enviro fee" for everything from paint to tires and yet we are told all can be recycled. If that is the case, then you are right. Recycling materials normally made from scratch, has to be saving the producer money. It is certain that the government is not applying the fee to the reduction of this scrap. Global warming has become a lucrative business for the government and those receiving the dividends..
