Fart-mouth Flaherty makes wind

Steve Harper’s typical type of choice for a finance minister, Jim Flaherty, is farting out his neocon solutions for the disaster heading Ontario’s way thanks to his own feckless mishandling of the federal budget. The miniature blowhard is criticizing Ontario’s new budget for not giving tax breaks to big business.

Having given federal tax breaks to his big business pals and taken surplus funds that should be aiding provinces in need and fixing the nation’s crumbling infrastructure—just to pay down debt at cheap interest rates—the diminutive buffoon is demanding that Ontario slash its revenue from business.

In Flaherty’s addled brain the less businesses pay in taxes, the more businesses will pay in taxes.

That’s because like other lackeys of big business, he promotes the big lie that the more corporations make, the more they’ll spend. And that will trickle down the economic ladder. They pee, we get to drink.

In reality, the more they make, the more Ontarians they’ll lay off so they can spend offshore where NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) sent Ontario’s jobs. And certainly the more they’ll pay their elite CEOs in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Like so many little creeps, Flaherty seems to suffer from the small-man syndrome: a bandy rooster always ready to battle better and bigger people. Some small persons are big men and women in all aspects of their lives.

Flaherty is a dangerous twerp. Neocons don’t accept taxes because they don’t care for the common good. It’s all about them: the virtue of selfishness. Everyone else can screw themselves.
