Thank you to the baby boomer. Thanks a lot.

Parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page says taxes are eventually going to have to go up, coupled with cuts because them baby boomers are a retirin' and gonna be fewer folks workin' too, so someone needs ta pay fer it.  Well thank ya very much.

I'd like to officially thank the baby boomers for screwing over my generation (X) by leaving us with a massive government that we cannot possibly pay for in the future.  Way to create a pension plan that probably won't exist when I retire because they'll be no money left, despite me paying into it all these years.  Meanwhile, the important things will probably continue to hang by a thread. I'm talking about infrastructure, parks, and the military.

While bank CEOs and economists are calling for tax increases, the little guy and the middle class continually gets ignored.  Tax increases are the absolute LAST thing we need.  With the average household debt being just under $100,000, yeah, let's TAX them some more.  That'll really spur economic growth.  Leave it to a bureaucrat to come up with the brilliant idea that a new tax or tax increase will solve problems.  Friggin' geniuses they are!  Let's give 'em big raises and pensions for their smarts.

Hey, dipstick bureaucrat, instead of asking regular Canadians to tighten their belts, why aren't you and these "experts" calling for gov't to do the same?  (Wait, don't answer. It's too obvious.) 

As far as spending cuts, I don't mean just little cuts here and there, but to go through the entire bureaucracy, beyond what the Auditor General does, sell off crap the feds don't need, oh I dunno, like entire empty buildings and unused equipment, cut useless programs, departments, employees, and grants (oh there's plenty), and GET BACK TO BASICS.

I mean, how far do we take it the other way?  Does gov't just keep growing and expect the taxpayer to continually fund it?  It's really got to stop. It should have stopped a long time ago actually.  Oh but those boomers sure got a hold of government and made it grow, leaving a legacy of waste and mismanagement, didn't they?

I hope Harper, Flaherty, and Day stick to their conservative roots and find those areas I mentioned, get rid of them, while modestly and carefully cutting taxes at the same time.

Allow Canadians to pay off their debts, invest, and spend. That's how an economy grows and jobs are created.  Taxing them will diminish that from happening.

Now, you might be asking, "Hey, where's the Iggy jab, Hatrock?"  Well, if he were in power, we all know what he'd do.  And he's a boomer who didn't even live here for 35 years.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot.
