I happened to look at a video of
Rachel Notley making some comments about the Red Deer Hospital and the need for
funding to upgrade and made the mistake of reading the comments below the
article. There were 20 comments and only one was positive. The other comments
showed the absolute ignorance of the writers not only about the positive
benefits that have occurred over the last four years but also about the history
of the previous 44 year regime of the Conservatives. Their legacy is appalling
and Kenney’s plans are more of the same – regressive politics and spending,
punitive measures to those who can least afford it (youth and service industry
workers).
But what should I care since
these idiots are only shooting themselves not in the foot but in their heads.
Can anyone point out to me what the average person has gained through the
Conservative government? The tax breaks have not come to the individual but to
corporations and if you think that has meant more hiring you are in error once
again.
People are complaining about the
carbon tax but what you end up paying with this tax is minimal compared with
Kenney’s promise to bring back health care fees. Gee, what would I rather pay –
a tax that I can control via my consumption of natural gas or a fixed monthly
fee of $50 for health care? Now that fixed fee would be $600 / year . . . my
carbon tax works out to about $250 / year . . . but wait, I actually get all of
that back because I am retired and therefore low income.
Just a tiny lesson on COSTS . . .
Sorry but I am a little
incensed by these jerks’ comments – I decided to edit myself as I didn’t want
to fall to their level.
