The Home Owner Grant is a classic example of a regressive tax break that favours those who already have means. It was likely needed in 1980, but in 2017 it isn’t. What your saying is those with ambition and have taken risk to create jobs for others should be treated less favorable than some lazy ass or no mind who carried a lunch bucket all their lives. Those who never looked after themselves financially should be given more privilege. You wish to reward those who spent their weekends and paychecks in the bar at the expense of those who saved and invested their money ? What incentive is there to create a better life for ones self. By your criteria NON. The mortgage and equity partnership is a classic example of a government stimulating demand and interfering with the economics of the free market. If the government put the money from these two programs into eliminating the Medical Services Plan premium they could eliminate about two-fifths of everyone’s fees with a simple transfer of this priority Clark is going to eliminate Medical services premiums for majority of British Columbia's people by the end of this year. The remainder in the upper and upper middle class will continue to pay a small premium for a bit longer. Then they to will have their medical premiums rescinded to. I certainly don't mind paying a premium. $100 per month +- is so insignificant. Anyone who would bitch about that must be on drugs sleeping on a park bench somewhere. Elroy and other Americans would love to have total family coverage, Choose your own doctor, no limits on Dr visits, Hospital emergency services 24/7 in any city in the province, Hospital care and operating room procedures totally covered, no restrictions as to preconditions Walk in clinic service by doctors there. Chiropractics and physiotherapy totally covered. All for $100 per month give or take a few bucks. And no surcharges ever. Christy Clark is providing this and has produced a balanced provincial budget for the last five years in a row. And you complain. The housing market in Vancouver as high as it is is Great. People retire sell their homes for 1 to 2 million move to the interior where there is much dryer climate Pick up a home for 5 to 6 hundred k and live quite comfortable. My son an RCMP officer. His first posting was Burnaby for 11 years. He got married and they purchased a town house in Po.Co Concentrated on trying to pay it down. When he transfered to the Okanagan they sold the place in Coquitlam it gave then enough to get into a beautiful home on 3/4 acre. 23 years in the force and his house is now paid for. And your saying because Him, his wife and three children wisely managed their money for the good of their future, They should be treated lesser and not be entitled to the same benefits as those who pissed it up against the wall ? That is typical left wing idiocy that you hear from NDP no minds. No wonder their all lunch boxes. When you mention Dave Barret. He was so intelligent he gave welfare people an extra $25 for every dog they had. That's a fact. The NDP Party was so close to organized crime. One of their Premiers had his house raided by the police, Another was at a wedding where an execution took place out of sight in the bushes near by. Do you remember your parties scandal they called Bingo Gate ? Or how about a party leader who held office named Moe and the investigation of him and his counterparts ? The High prices are a result of Dave Baretts actions. It was him that brought in the land freeze that limits land development. Always curbing supply Vs demand is what keeps prices high. By keeping prices high the Government brings in more revenue. They tax against value. That is why no government ever allows more development than there is market for it. It seems to me people must be blind. They simply live in a dream world and never try to ask why when something happens. When My children were in school.they would come home with some left wing thing some teacher had spun. Instantly I called for a visit with the teacher in the Principal's office and we had a discussion in front of the kid. You may teach politics but never bias your teachings either left or right. Just teach facts without bias. Once that was ignored and I began litigation naming the principal, the teacher the school board and the department of education. We came to an agreeable settlement with out going to court. My girl (who now practices law herself) In a conversation with the teacher in question. He said "I don't know where your dad learned his political views, But it is some where to the right of Genghis Khan " Perhaps that is why I loved the business world. I wished I could spent another lifetime with it. Business people thrive on challenge. Left wingers simply can't comprehend that.
