What do you have against lowering the corporate tax rate? As opposed to? I am definitely against lowering corporate tax and increasing all the other taxes. Our former PM owns Canada Steamships but all his ships have foreign crews, and are registered in Foreign countries. He once put a crew off in boston in order to put on a Phillipino crew. The crew were of course Canadians. The only Canadian thing about Canada Steamships is of course it's name.

Stop using labels. Explain how those policies are LIBERAL. Explain how lowering the corporate tax rate is a LIBERAL policy. In Canada there are two big parties and a two smaller parties. The two big parties are the Conservatives and the Liberals. The leaders from these two parties are usually somehow connected to Power Corp. Then we have a socialist party the NDP and the quebec seperatist party the Bloc Quebecois(sp) So big business controls both the Liberals and the conservatives. and has their fingers in the Bloc. The Liberals like big surpluses and bribing specific ethnic groups with tax money. They support lots of immigration, but not from White countries. They are particularly partial to Muslims, and French people. The Liberal PM got Mr al kahdr out of prison so he could go and train people for al Qaeda. He was mildly embarrassed when Mr al Kahdr died in a gunfight with the Americans. The conservatives hate Gay marriage but want to lower taxes, they like smaller government, and spend a lot less money on Lunch. The Bloc just wants to get out of Canada. The NDP just wants to raise taxes and spend money, the last big government they ran was Ontario and the helped bankrupt Canada's largest steel company by giving them a "Pension Holiday" companies got billions of dollars behind in their pension contributions. The NDP leader who made such a mess is about to become the head of the Liberal Party, cause he is old and not so radical.

Bush's Petro-Cartel Almost Has Iraq's Oil alternet.org part 2 alternet.org <<...What is clear is that the future of Iraq ultimately hinges to a great degree on the outcome of a complex game of chess -- only part of which is out in the open -- that is playing out right now, and oil is at the center of it. It's equally clear that there's a yawning disconnect between Iraqis' and Americans' views of the situation. Erik Leaver, a senior analyst at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, told me that the disposition of Iraq's oil wealth is "definitely causing problems on the ground," but the entire topic is taboo in polite D.C. circles. "Nobody in Washington wants to talk about it," he said. "They don't want to sound like freaks talking about blood for oil." At the same time, a recent poll asked Iraqis what they believed was the main reason for the invasion and 76 percent gave "to control Iraqi oil" as their first choice...>>
