Dear Mona:
I believe that it is time to balance your efforts to uplift the economic welfare of Canadians. I hear that the top 10% of income earners in this country (defined as earning more than $96000.00 a year, or half of an MP's salary) pay about 54% of Canada's revenues. What is worse, they are, well, a rather tawdry and kitschy bunch what with their McMansions, Lexus Toastermobiles, Home Theatre and Hilfiger's duds. Think of it - in the 30's and 40's our rich were the Pride of our Nation and the envy of the World. They lived in glorious manors in Mount Royal and Rockcliffe, drove Jag Sportscars and Hudson convertibles, dressed like Gary Cooper and Ginger Rogers and owned theatres. And the top tax rate was 89% back then not 33!
We need a ministry which I believe only you should be tasked and entrusted to run - the Ministry of Greater Upper Class Glory. This is a national imperative I believe. For in the Olympics of rich people, we are consistently taking the bronze medal. And here's the kicker - what better way to ensure Middle Class Prosperity than to make a good number of them rich. I have a theory that may only be mine. The more rich people, the richer we all will get. For, after we get the rich up to the rich level of say, the Saudis, the Irish and the average gated community in the US, they're sure to have some money left over to give the Middle Class jobs and business, maybe, even a few truly poor people, too.
It's getting a little meaningless, you say? Giving a Ministry of You're Richer Than You Think to the Rich. With the Poor getting all the non-corporate welfare and the Middle Class their Prosperity Dynamo it's almost like if everyone's prosperous than no one's prosperous? Well, we have a Regional Development Ministry now not only for the Maritimes but for the West while Ontario is just as Have Not a province as Nova Scotia so this is Standard Operating Procedure and only (Canadianism coming) fair, eh?
There are 144 days left to use Disallowance to repeal Bill 21.
