Debt of Destruction

Sir Winston Churchill once said that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
.




Who will be the first to say that Churchill was talking about 'National Debt' not 'Municipal Debt'.
.
It won't be the 'Totally Free' The Niagara Independent online news!

The first paragraph of the 'Niagara Independent's most enlightening article' says it all: 'Residents in Niagara will see a sharp increase in the amount of taxes they will be paying next year as the Regional government passed its 2020 budget last Thursday night. The increases include a 5.92 per cent overall property tax increase, a 5.15 per cent hike on the water and waste water tax bill as well as a 9.9 per cent increase for waste management services despite a reduction in waste management services. It’s the largest tax increase in at least a decade.' 

Add City Tax increase - example St. Catharines 3.92 %

Not to mention Provincial and Federal Tax increases, Fines, Fees and Property Theft.

.

In true Kathleen Wynne double speak Chair Bradley said  "Regional Council was faced with some challenging decisions on the 2020 budget, however we continued to invest in Niagara’s future through support for high quality service delivery." 
.
Chair Bradley is correct in that 'high quality' means the most politicians anywhere in Canada; the greatest number of the greatest new cop shops; the greatest new anything other than the greatest husbanding of the public purse!
.

Government is the greatest cause of poverty and homelessness and the Niagara Regime is no exception! The government's cost to the taxpayers at multiples of inflation leads nowhere but to the eventual devastation of society! 
.
Only Councilors Redekop, Bylsma, Heit, and Insanna voted not to accept the brazen NEW tax increases!
.
It is very unfortunate that the rest of our Regime's Councilors acquiesce in the direction of so many historic and failed societies not least of which was the recent devastation of Jim Bradley's Ontario Liberal Regime.
.
Sadly this brazen scheme was deliberately spawned mid-term in an effort to ward off public backlash at election time!

Always an excuse - Always someone else's fault!
