If doing the "right thing" ...Posted by: <a href="http://148711">chris mack</a><br /><br />If doing the "right thing" is to screw possibly millions of people out of their hard earned savings, what would be the wrong thing to do?<br />If the govt wanted to fix what they perceived to be a problem, they could have just stated that their would not allow any new income trusts.<br />This bloodbath is going to cause repercussions. The Conservatives are toast. I always voted Conservative. I will never vote for them again and tell everyone why.<br />I am a hardworking guy with almost all of my RRSP's in income trusts. My financial planner told me that I could get 7 to 8% at very low risk. The Liberals had been toying with the idea of getting rid of them but Harper said that he wouldn't touch them. Well Harper is a liar. <br />No pension plan, no sick pay, no holiday pay for the last 23 years, no new cars, no new furniture, just savings so that I could retire at 58 on a modest income from my investments. My wife was always asking me for new furniture, new cars,etc. She said we should do a little enjoying now. I said no. We are going to save our money so that we don't have to eat cat food with the rest of the people that failed to plan.<br />Well, it looks like we'll either work forever or/and still eat cat food.<br />This is no joking matter. Harper and the boys are liars. We lose 30 billion and counting collectively in 2 days and Harper throws us some other tax relief bones. What a joke! What a jerk! How stupid does he think we are? The law needs to be changed /repealed. and right now! These people need to be thrown out on their ears. They are yet to understand the ire of the people on this issue. Millions of people lost billions of dollars in 2 days. Money for most of us represents blood, sweat, and tears. I have always had to work hard for my money like millions of other common people. I have never had a bloodsucking leeching so-called job in parliament with all the perks and with all the pigs. <br />I wonder how much Harper and his band of goofs lost on income trusts? <br />The Martin Liberals were way too liberal for me. I didn't like their social adgenda. What I did like was Martin's fiscal management. What is more important to me, my hard earned savings or my conservative values? I'll take my hard earned money in a heartbeat. I would vote for Hedy Fry or even Belinda for PM if it meant getting my money back.<br />I meet a lot of people in my line of work and many say that all politicians are scum. I begged to disagree. I have said on many occasions that this Harper guy seems like a decent guy and a straight shooter. It took 55 years to end my naivete. He is a liar and just another scumbag.<br />My financial planner told me that if I wanted to "sleep at night" I needed conservative investments. I'm not doing any sleeping at all.<br />I am one of the silent majority who doesn't call politicians, or radio stations, or newspapers, or join activist groups. In the last 24 hours, I have called 2 radio stations, Emailed Harper and Flarity, called an action group representing the income trusts, and am going to join with anyone else willing to take these bums out.<br /><br />Chris Mack , badly screwed taxpayerJon Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682272532870959943noreply@blogger.com
