In general, tax cuts tend to stimulate economies, especially those
that have been beset by high taxes. Might actually be a good move.
Also takes away from the government the ability to "redistribute" the
fruits of others' labor. Sounds like a good plan.

Not to worry - Howard Dean says Mad Cow is Bush's fault. I'm sure he

Yes, it's a US thing in which excess payments are made for social
programs, the excess is "borrowed" by the government for current spending
needs and an IOU is deposited in the "trust" fund for future generations
to pay for with increased taxes. Strangely enough, many who now decry
deficit spending with the attendant increase in debt believe the rhetoric
of politicians who talk of the opposition "looting" the trust funds by
omitting the deposit of the IOUs when the excess money is removed. Worse
yet, the debt contained in these trust funds is counted as an asset. And
people thought Enron invented that idea.

BTW, what country are you in that doesn't have similar practices?

The flu outbreak will probably be blamed on Canadians and anything
that hasn't happened yet.

Not to mention all those trust funds in lock boxes and those nasty
savings bonds. Those will all be paid off with government "profits", and
you know how the government makes a profit.

the flu is definitely canada's fault.

But, just to make sure things are clear:

> It seems that the USDA is indicating that infected cow came from Canada.

Yet to be proven. There is a discrepancy in the age of the cow, which
indicates that the cow may not have come from Canada. They are
conducting DNA testing now.

Also, there are indications that the one infected cow that was found in
Canada earlier this year, came from Montana.

Later to be found that it actually started in a power plant in Ohio.

Later found to be false. But even if they did enter the US through
Canada, those border crossings are guarded by American customs agents.

Seems to be, but that's alright. We've been blaming you Yanks for

Awraaaiight! Seems like we have an invite. How do we finance this

Oh and the word should be something like prestidigitate.

A couple of years ago there was a flap over US and Canadian sports teams
booing each other's national anthems. Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly
responded with the following article, which is pretty funny, give it a read:

Whoa, Canada!

You went too damn far this time.
First you tried to pawn off that
bad ham as bacon. Then you stuck us with Celine Dion
and no instructions on how to turn her off. But when
you started booin' our national anthem, Bubba, you
peed on the wrong leg.

It happened five times last week. Vancouver Canucks
fans roundly booed The Star-Spangled Banner before
two home playoff games against the Colorado
Avalanche, and Edmonton Oilers fans booed it before
three home games against the Dallas Stars.

Hey, Roseanne wasn't even singin' it!

Nobody's quite sure why you're booin'. Maybe you
think if you disrespect somebody else's country, it

Maybe

Edmonton fans have had it up to their earflaps with

maybe you drink about three dozen too many Labatts

Well, I know what it is. You're sore at how we're

the Stanley Cup since 1993. You've only got six teams
left out of the 30 in the league, and those six are

You had to be pretty desperate to boo ol' Frank Key's

These brats are often only interested in copycat behavior and feel
that the worst of what exists in the US is their ideal. They
don't realize how well off they are and feel that they are put upon by

You make the assumption that this is a zero-sum game. i.e. if you stop
taking a dollar in taxes from someone, that dollar disappears from the
treasury never to be seen again. The truth is, that by cutting taxes,
you wind up stimulating the economy (again, assuming an over-taxed
economy -- and Canada certainly falls into that category), such that
more revenue starts getting generated in the economy and the government
tax revenues actually rise. There is sufficient evidence to support
this assertion; it worked in the early '60s when the Kennedy tax cuts
cut the confiscatory tax rates imposed during the Roosevelt
administration, it worked with the Reagan tax cuts, in which tax revenue
grew significantly following the tax cuts as the economy grew.

So, for the children, you're for eliminating all those social program
trust funds, such as the Social Security Trust Fund - right?

Canada. I'm not aware of the government borrowing surplus in such
accounts. But I wouldn't be surprised that it's happening and I

Please come and invade (or whatever term you like) and when you don't
find them please feel free to leave billions of dollars in aid. I know
you won't find the WMD because you don't know what you are looking
for. In our case the WMD are our politicians. Gave everyone who pays
taxes a cheque for $155 just weeks before the last election. Now have
to cut many government programs, especially health care and education.
Their next "trick" it to decrease taxes by 10% on Jan 1 2004. Yes we
can really afford this as well. Politician want a 39% (YES 39%) wage
hike after the next election. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come and get
our WMD.
Thank you in advance, Ken in NS

Tax revenue rises, but so does the debt. The net is negative. If the
increased revenue covered government expenses _and_ reduced the debt,
there might be something to it, but as it stands, it's all a right-wing
fiction to take money out of future generations and put it in the pockets
of current taxpayers - predominantly the rich and upper middle class.

It's like getting a massive mortgage, borrowing to make all your purchases
and then quitting your job to take a lower paying one with a shorter working
week. Everything looks fine as long as you make your interest payments.
When you die, someone inherits your debts. No sensible, moral person would
live like that, but all western governments do.

That's because youse guys are just jealous of our freely-available
universally accessible medical care and because we have all of the
things that are good about the US and very few of the bad ones. Plus,
we're better looking.

Yeah, sure. The cold keeps you from getting fat.

I'm not sure about the good vs. bad thing though. I was listening to some
radio program or other where they were interviewing gangbangers from
Toronto. It was weird.

"I was like, yo mothafukka, eh? I'm aboot sick o' yo' crap, eh? Whaddaya
say I take you oot in a boot and bust a cap in yo' ass, eh? Then feed you
to the fish, eh?"

? I have no idea what a social security trust fund is (an American
thing is it?). What I want is balanced budgets and debt elimination.
Guess what - that means that the _current_ generations have to catch
on taxes that have gone unpaid (e.i. deferred) for the last thirty
years or so. Is that going to happen? - never. The problem will
eventually be resolved the hard way and yer kids (or theirs) will
be the victims.
