Walter I hear you. But there's no guarantee that is what the money will be spent on.
It sends a bad message to corporate Ontario. With such competition between provinces and states to intice busineses in and to stay, it sends a bad vibe.
Less business, less tax base.

You're right, it's no guarantee. But if it isn't spent there, I'll make my share of noise about it.
By the way, why is your avatar animated and not mine?

Hi XJW:
I guess it could be argued either way about what Mr McGuinty said in that letter.
However, if he indulges his left wing ideology too much, Mr McGuinty will have two very basic truths hammered home to him:
1) The "big bad corporations vs. virtuous oppressed proletariat" viewpoint so cherished by liberals (small l) is complete nonsense. Corporations are the geese that lay the golden eggs. Most of the individuals he claims to care about are employed by them. If Mr. McGuinty makes it difficult for corporations to fulfill their only purpose (making money for their owners) by increasing the tax burden overmuch, he will reap the whirlwind when those corporations relocate to more competitive areas leaving Liberal voters unemployed.
2) The desire and freedom to improve the circumstances of yourself and your family is one of the greatest, most enobling, enriching, and above all, the most progressive characteristics of humanity. If Mr. McGuinty takes away the freedom of people to do this (such as for instance, removing their ability to avoid sending their children to state schools where they are handicapped to the lowest common denominator, instead of having the freedom to pay extra for superior private schools) he will find that nothing alienates faaster the people who actually drive this Province. While the left wing ideology is indeed to take away this freedom entirely, reducing people to abject dependency upon an all-powerful Socialist state that controls everything from birth to grave under the pseudonyms of "welfare" and "social programmes", society has now by and large moved beyond this irresponsible and selfish free-lunch mentality. Mr McGuinty will find it is gone for good, no matter how frantically he sucks at Lenin's teat.

Thanks Pettygrudger!
A break is just what I need, and my boss gave me this Monday off, so I have a LONG WEEKEND!!! I'll try to refrain from working around the house.
I'm not sure they'll think I'm so wonderful when they hear how much of a raise I want!!! After all, it's been almost 3 years...
Walter
Well Walter, we do have a meet-up tonight - and since you have 3 whole days off.....
Well, I'm expected at our meetup tonight, but after that I'm up to just about anything!!!!
