Tired of paying taxes through the nose? Are you aware that Federal Canadian Income Tax is Illegal? Are you aware that Alberta HAS TO collect their own taxes according to our Constitution? The Alberta Party is committed to Alberta collecting its own taxes, as we are legally supposed to and to getting the Federal Government out of their Fraudulent and Illegal Federal Income Tax Scheme. Because I know you will ask, let me answer a couple of questions in advance.... Q. Don't you believe in paying your fair share? A. Of course we do, but we do far more than that. There are very few people in Canada that will not say they are overtaxed. But, fair taxation does not include all taxes that Ottawa can dream up. It is not fair to be forced to pay and illegal and 'voluntary' tax that is extorted from Canadians by the Federal Government. Q. What are you going to replace federal income tax with? A. We are not going to replace it with anything. It is illegal. It doesn't need to be replaced. All taxes collected by the federal government must be put into a federal consolidated revenue fund. The net result will simply be less taxes going into general revenue for the federal government. According to our Constitution, only the provincial government can collect an income tax from you and it can only be used for provincial purposes. Q. What will happen to all of our Social and Health Programs? A. This is normally the first question asked by a politician whenever people talk about rolling back taxes. The fact of the matter is that there is lots of money being taxed for our social programs, it is just none of it is ever spent on them. Politicians are too busy lining their pockets with lucrative compensation and retirement packages to give a tweet about you. What about the billions of deferred corporate income taxes? Crown Corporations? Loans of millions of dollars for businesses that never get paid back? What about doing away with all the tax incentives for businesses that don't pay their fair share of the taxes anyway? What about doing away with foreign aid when we have countless more homeless living on the streets of our own country? The homeless on the streets of Calgary have tripled in the last two years. The fact of the matter is that our Social and Health programs in this country are broken and no amount of money is going to fix them. They are dying of bureaucratic strangulation. Over 70% of the money spent on social programs goes to support the bureaucracy that passes out the money to the less fortunate in our society. In other words, the social workers are permanently on social assistance and the people with nothing, not even a social safety net, are the ones taking all the flack. If they have all our money though, why are they begging in the streets? Q. Why doesn't the Alberta Party put as much of your money back into your pocket as we can and ask you to be responsible for yourself? Don't you agree that you spend it more responsibly than say, the Canada Arts Council who recently paid $15,000. of your money for an 'Art' display of a dozen dead rabbits? (To say nothing of the fact that a rabbit only costs $5.00 and this despicable display of tripe should never have cost more than $60.00 at the most.) A. ......and your answer is.... Canadians are great complainers and are always saying there is nothing we can do about these situations. The fact of the matter is that most Canadians give up without ever even trying to do anything to make any positive change. Do you realize that less than 40% of the population votes? This is extremely irresponsible and we do pay a very high price for being so irresponsible. In order to maintain our rights, we need to exercise them. Ever wonder why the government panders to the dictates of small and vocal minority special interest groups? They are politically active and they all vote! If all Canadians voted, we would not be subject to the tyranny of the small number that do vote. Help put some common sense back into government... make your vote count and let your voice be heard! Check out our platform at http://www.albertaparty.net and make sure you get a membership! We can make a difference if YOU care enough to give us your vote and your support! Your future and the future generations of our country are dependent on the choices that you make now. Will you care enough to make a difference? Cheers, Jim
