Where Chickens Vote for Colonel Sanders
“Taxpayers voting for Liberals is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders” – unknown author.
I received my provincial bribe cheque yesterday. As I stared at it, I was overcome with anger and helplessness, and insult. Insult because the government’s attempt to dupe us with a handout of our own money, is so goddamn shallow! What a pathetic illustration of the contempt they harbour for the taxpayer! Anger, because I know that this is borrowed money. McGuinty has already spent all the money he robbed from us with his farcical health tax and a thousand other hidden insertions into our pockets. Helpless, also, because I know now that there is no stopping them from robbing us again with the HST. And that will be the biggest robbery of all.
But there is something we can do to hurt this harmful administration, and by turning their own tactics against them. Take your bribe money and donate as much as you can spare, to the political opposition. This will, first, strengthen the opposition for the next election, but also, cost McGuinty’s government more money in the form of political income tax credits. Last time I looked, a $500 donation got you back $400.
Let me anticipate the argument that as taxpayers, we will ultimately hurt ourselves with this tactic. An awareness of what is to come, argues that the price is worth it to get rid of this disastrous administration. McGuinty is not finished leaving a legacy of destruction, yet, and can cause much more damage before the next election. If we can remove additional funds from his fumbling hands, (so he can’t afford more Samsung surprises) we save in the long run. Also we add to the ammunition required to defeat him.
Is there doubt that he will lose? This is Ontario, where taxpayers see nothing wrong with chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. It is also the place where our billions have been spent assuring the support of public employees. A letter from one of Ontario’s teachers’ unions, in today’s Post, calls them, “an enlightened Liberal government…” You do the math.

anyone who votes for McAssWipe and the ScumBag Fascist Party of Ontario is a brain dead idiot. Any surprise that this includes the Ontario brainwashing (teachers) union.
