CBC Back On Track

Further to yesterday's post, I did notice something much more CBC'ish beneath the Zombie-All-Clear article; once again the 1% are sucking up all the goodies in Ontario.

A new study says the rich are getting richer and the poor are, well, not getting poorer, but not getting rich as fast as those darn richies.  And something has to be done about it!

The report was done by, wait a second, a group of community activists and unions!  Huh?

The article/study goes on to lament the inequality of income distribution in the province.

Well here's a crazy notion; income isn't distributed.  It's earned.

The report shows that Ontario ranks last of all provinces in most major categories.  And by most major categories they mean, of course, government funding of social programs.

How a province with such a high tax rate can rank last in so many spending categories just shows how much Dolton McGuilty's Liberals have farged our province.

They did say Ontario at least got two things right; highest minimum wage and highest welfare rates.  Hmmm.....no chance those could be part of the problem....?

Sorry, it's those darn richies fault, getting all that income distributed right to their door.
