In response to a message from RW Mackie to All:


RM> the Vancouver Sun (Sat Nov 4) interview "CUT CUT CUT..."
RM> with Gordo on  page C 8 where he talks about his economic
RM> agenda and where he's been  getting his guidance from
RM> vis-a-vis making 'announcements'...none other  than the
RM> above-mentioned domestic workhouses...? But I'm sure you
RM> knew  that anyway. 

Sounds hopeful.

RM> In the interview...

RM> I don't see any indication of an understanding about how
RM> people  interact with each other, but only how they interact
RM> at the autoteller.

As it should be. We do not need any more 'fatherly'
politicians who undeerstand our needs. Government is about
laws and conflict resolution, it's not a social agency or
charity.

RM> But he'd try and cut my income tax...and what good will that
RM> do for most people?

If it won't do you any good, send your 'extra' money to
someone who it will do some good. Think for yourself.

RM> What would be rationalized as excessive
RM> and cut to provide for such a sop?

In theory: everything. For now, we'll settle for the more
obvious examples of the inapropriate use of government
power.

RM> Something even more
RM> costly to most people?

Things cost what they cost, and funding them through
government doesn't change that. All that happens is the
cost is paid by taxes, and the people who use those
services over-use them.

RM> You bclibs don't have any policy because the race for
RM> nominations has been hyjacked by the old socred power
RM> structure. You know that.  They can't afford policy.

You finally got one thing right, but so what?
