Dear Editor:
NDP boss Thomas Mulcair announced he wants to raise the corporate tax to pay for a government babysitting service.
Typical of the left, Mulcair doesn’t understand, (or doesn’t admit) that corporate taxes are ultimately paid by the company’s employees, customers, shareholders, vendors and suppliers ... in other words, you.
He wants you to think he’s sticking it to the fat, rich CEO with the cigar and the scotch on the rocks, because everybody hates rich, fat cigar-chewing, scotch-drinking CEOs.
But the corporation is not a fat, rich CEO, it’s a piece of paper.
And if it’s not profitable it just ceases to exist. Then the NDP will look for something else to tax, since that appears to be their solution to everything.
I’m a small business owner, a trucking business.
Mulcair doesn’t get that most small businesses service other larger businesses, not end consumers.
When you raise my customer’s taxes, it makes it harder for me to get more money out of them.
I can’t complete with the federal government and I shouldn’t have to.
