Bottom half of that article includes a graph showing just what the article talks about.(<a href="http://www.canadiandemocraticmovement.ca/images/news/taxgraph.gif">www.canadiandemocraticmovement.ca/images/news/taxgraph.gif</a> for the image itself) As corporate taxes decrease, your taxes go up. The majority are now paying for the minority - nobles never left.

Capitalism and communism are one and the same.The oppressed get F* and the scum on top gets it all.
Stalin would be proud of his boys.

Fair share of taxes!?!?!? You have got to be kidding.Since when did this come back out?When did this stuning piece of news ever get put back? The corporate shifted tax in the early nineties to make it look good.Now the shufle is full on.
Be prepared to see taxx double over the next five years to further pad the 'AmericanWay"

Q: if there was a way to lower or abolish taxes for businesses, enhance public services, and lower effective personal tax rates, would you accept it?

You sound like me more than I sound like me!

No! All people and businesses have to pay their fair share! I don`t know how one can cut taxes to the rich and enhance public services.

Hint: look up "Henry George" and his book: Poverty & Progress.

People run businesses. They pay taxes on their earnings and on their consumption. Show me a business where the executives are living large on write-offs and expense accounts and I'll show you a business going down in flames and using other people's money to do it.

- People who benefit from vehicles and meals & entertainment expense accounts in a business need to see a taxable benefit on their own income. This is not policed enough.

- Businesses should not be exempt from consumption/sales taxes. Make everyone pay and lower the rate.

- Taxes on business should encourage the payroll and discourage offshoring. Current tax structure does the opposite, so by lowering business taxes (payroll for example) you just might increase revenues overall.

- Taxes on businesses should encourage production and value-add and discourage waste

- lowering business taxes while eliminating all the loopholes gives the edge to small businesses who are responsible for nearly all the growth and employment, but who can't afford fancy accountants. Having high business taxes encourages loopholes, influence peddling and offshoring.

- businesses like financial services providers (brokers) should not get a free pass from collecting GST. We'd all pay less if the brokers and banks had to collect GST on their fees (note: not on the value of the investment, just on the fees). I'd gladly pay it on my banking service charges if everyone did.

- tax capital gains fairly. Not doing this is a real problem, since combined with stock options it encourages short term cap/growth behaviour in the executives instead of long-term, dividend-oriented growth. Who wants to earn high-tax dividends, when they can earn low-tax capital gains? I'd reverse it and lower tax on dividend income, then the shareholders would pressure corporations to pay them.

The more people earn a higher living and pay taxes on that living, the more solvent the public treasury. Tax policy should make sure as many people as possible can secure the best living possible.

Not all businesses are rich. In fact most businesses are not, just like most businesses aren't mean corporate behemoths.

Struggling small businesses need just as much support from tax-shift advocates as struggling individuals--they are usually the same people!

I am paying all the taxes.
The rich have loopholes and tax lawyers that make sure they don't pay taxes.
The poor and the people whose lifestyle prevents them from earning a wage receive entitlements from their extensive support system of lawyers, community groups, and politicians.
They take my money as I make it, before I cash my paycheck. And they give me nothing but a sense of exasperation over how contemptuous they treat guys like me. It is robbery made legal. Everyone has more juice than the people who pay for it all. It is a perverted system with many people suggesting I should be giving more.

Actually, I believe what we can expect is that now that the people at the top have gotten everything they dreamed of and more with regards to taxes they will start a media blitz to get the rest of to start demanding that out taxes be lowered (by blitz I mean that over the next five years you will see it in the media more and more, especially in editorials but also supposed research articles from the CD Howe and Fraser institutes). Of course, they can pretty much count on the great unwashed jumping on the tax reduction bandwagon without taking notice that they are paying as much tax as they are because they are carrying the former burden of the high income earners and corporations. They also won't be informed that their taxes will be reduced by directly cutting out social programs that keep education and healthcare within their reach. Like lambs to the slaughter they are!!!
