AXE TAXES
Weedmark and Ball want to give you "Discounts" on YOUR money. By that I mean they are going to TAKE YOUR money and then give some back to you at tax time. (how generous... what's the sarcasm emoji?). I want to give you YOUR money back now! Cutting the PST and gas tax puts money in your pocket NOW. You don't have to file taxes... deal with Revenue Canada... hoping you get it. you have it... it's yours... immediately.
They think that giving you a rebate (on your OWN money) is a kind gesture, but it's going to cost the taxpayer half of that to change the tax code, refund the monies, train the auditors...etc. Our plan is simply.... we don't want your money, you keep it.... You stimulate the economy HOW YOU SEE FIT!!
These rebates are stupid (sorry this is me ranting now). Have you ever heard the addage... 'the more you buy the more you save'. Didn't you Grandpa punch you in the arm and call you stupid when you said and did things like that.... Mine did. That is what Moe and Beck are essentially doing... they are telling you to spend more money (you don't have) so you save more later! #STUPID
DOWNSIZE & DEREGULATE GOVERNMENT
Both Sask Party and NDP have savior complexes where they think that the government is there to save the people.... it's not. the government is there to provide ESSENTIAL services only and allow the people to fill the gaps through entrepreneurship volunteerism and community engagement. The Saskatchewan people have lived in small rural communities for generations upon generations with communities running the hospitals and overseeing the schools. We need to get back to that.
We need to cut the Bureaucracy (NOT THE SERVICES) that oversee our essential services so that the teachers, nurses, doctors, etc can actually do their job efficiently. They need to be TRUSTED to do their work properly and they NEED THE MONEY to do it. Taxes are already nuts and the best way to give them the money they need is to give them the control they need. Leave the budget as is and cut the bureaucracy and give them the money.
From an entrepreneurial standpoint, we need to make it as quick and easy as possible for businesses to startup in Saskatchewan. Whether its a potash mine or a plumber in a small town. The regulations need to be cut to promote entrepreneurship.
AUTONOMY
We naturally think that government is in control and they should be... but they shouldn't. A true leader knows that his leadership is only as good as his lowest employee, and the government should know that better than anyone... but they don't. The government are STEWARDS of OUR resources (money) but they don't act that way. They just keep taking and taking and it's gone too far. True leadership is driven from the bottom up. in that the FAMILY has the ultimate authority over it's kids and the schools are just stewards. The community should be the ultimate authority of the school and hospital in the area and the province just pools and distributes the money. And the province should be the ultimate authority over their borders, and immigration and the feds just provide the funds and the means.
Our governmental system has lost it's way, and I'm here to kick and scream and fight to get that way of life back.
