Where was Bain and why do you think they didn't step up?
Are you claiming that Bain pays no taxes?

No. I am not claiming Bain pays no taxes.
And yes. Much like the Wall Streeet debacle, if saving Bain would reasonably halt a more troubling meltdown, then I would be for it.
But these extremely high tax rates and over regulation are causing a troubling meltdown and you support those.
It is simple. They can't and won't regulate themselves.
See you support a troubling meltdown.
Ok. If we have to go down in flames, better together as a whole.
That's what make us a nation. We sink or swim together.Well if I were going down in flames I would not be selfish enough to want to drag everyone else down with me.

It is true that Canada has a lower business tax rate than the US does and you have reminded us many times that you have lived in many Countries and could open a business anywhere but you chose Canada. Now were you a liar when you were telling all of us that?
If government spending caused prosperity it would be logical that Cuba or Iraq would be among the most prosperous places on Earth as they have the largest share of government spending to GDP. They are not.

That 'sink or swim' thing as a nation is too big to relate to. Shrink it down. Picture yourself as teenaged. All your friends want to go out and mob-rob a convenience store. Do you 'sink or swim' with them or do you decide to do the right thing?Says you.
Always want to kitchen sink it, don't you? The destruction of the middle class in this country is a very bad thing. Whether bankers and the 1% want to accept it, we are indeed linked together.That 'sink or swim' thing as a nation is too big to relate to. Shrink it down. Picture yourself as teenaged.

Thank goodness we still have people who don't believe in that sink or swim notion.
