Mayor Chow Want to Cap Rideshare Licences

[JohnLarue]

You did not answer the question.
I asked - when was the last time you encountered a government with no people and you answer that with "there are too many people"?
So I ask again.

too many people > no people
that is grade 4 math / logic
if you are still confused......... ask a child


you are the one who claimed

The private sector is a reference to businesses.
Not people.

you were asked a simple question in response to your stupid statement
its time to explain your stupid statement
when was the last time you encountered a business with no people?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

too many people > no people

Okay.
So per your logic you are saying:
1. "People" count as the private sector.
2. The government is made up of people. Infact too many people you say.
So per your statement #1, it would follow that the government is the.....private sector?!
Make it make sense.
This is what happens when you resort to mental gymnastics.
No people aka the citizenry are not defined as the public sector or the private sector.
The private sector is a reference to only businesses that are not under direct government control.

So we have a Chinese communist/Marist mayor
And a Muslim assistant mayor
How long till our city looks like London with all the Muslim violence in the streets and the push to live under sharia laws

Why will I be evasive?
I am not a mental gymnast like you.
From multiple sources.
Citizens primarily in the form of income tax and GST/HST.
Business in the form of corporate taxes - heavily subsidized and in many cases allowing them to pay zero taxes because of favourable tax laws - again only possible because of the government.
Dont forget these corporate taxes are passed on to the consumer and included in the pricing of products and services, so ultimately it is the citizens that bear it.
This does not help your argument.

Where does the money citizens pay in income tax come from?

Again, for the factually and cognitively impaired quoted above:

"Cognitively impaired"....says the guy who has DoFo living in his head 24/7...Lol!!!!

 

[Skoob]

Why are you evading your own question?

Why are you confused?

Answered already many times.
If you want to keep repeating the same thing I will leave you alone to do it.

I'm trying to help you. You seem confused. Which is why I'm asking you questions to get you to understand.
Or you're trying to walk back your initial claim that the government helps corporations by bailing them out with some mysterious "government money".

Won't be long now. Did you see the vids of Diwali at Yonge/Dundas. Not enough cops to stop them.

Good thing Trudeau is finally attempting to fix immigration now rather than calling everyone a xenophobe who has been suggesting he do that for almost a decade.

Apparently controlling immigration is no longer xenophobic! You know why?
Because Trudeau is doing it that's why!

He is just posturing on lowering immigration and cracking down on the student visas cuz he's down huge in the polls and an election is coming soon....and is way too much of a narcissist to step down.
If you look at how much they are actually planning on reducing immigration the numbers are still huge.

And that is the point...trading his virtue signals for votes.

They are Canadian citizens.
But using your reasoning, we have a British premier, and a Scottish-French mutt as a PM.

While I agree with your bottom line that the consumer pays for everything since corporate costs get passed into the prices. However, consumers have choices as to what the consume, so they choose to pay those prices.

Now to allude that corporation are heavily subsidized, not sure how you get there. Corporate taxes are about 35% of personal taxes, so they are paying for things. Also, they employ people, who otherwise wouldn't be paying income taxes, so indirectly these corporations are responsible for the lion's share of personal income taxes. They also pay other taxes, either directly if they own property or indirectly if they rent their premises through their rent. Do corporation get tax incentives, sure, in some cases I don't agree with them, but the intent is to have them reinvest in their company and grow and employ more people to increase the standard of living overall.

You have a very distorted view of things, which leans to a very socialist perspective.

Corporations pay so many more taxes than just income taxes. They incur payroll taxes, WSIB premiums, EHT (Employer Health Tax), capital taxes, property taxes etc.

Nice pivot and repeating my line.
Mental gymnastics in full effect.

Thanks for the much more expansive response, but you need to tell "Oatmeal" brain, who thinks private sector pays virtually nothing.

 

[JohnLarue]

Okay.
So per your logic you are saying:
1. "People" count as the private sector.
2. The government is made up of people. Infact too many people you say.
So per your statement #1, it would follow that the government is the.....private sector?!

do not misrepresent me
you already mis-represent yourself

Make it make sense.
This is what happens when you resort to mental gymnastics.

you mean like the mental back-flip, pirouette, forward somersault you did to come up with this nonsense

The private sector is a reference to businesses.
Not people.

or
illegals are not criminals
or
AOC is not the fembot carbon copy of the socialist idiot Trudeau.
(Is she not a feminist like Justin?)

No people aka the citizenry are not defined as the public sector or the private sector.

sure they are
this set of the "citizenry" is quite proud to Self - Identify themselves as Public sector employees
Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE)
they have t-shirts, a club house, placards and everything

Surely you are not going to overrule the rights of entitled public sector employees to Self - Identify .............now that a loonie left conundrum
are you going to betray your first principles in order to perpetuate your nonsense?

then ask a private sector employee if they Self - Identify themselves as Public sector employees
90% will laugh in your face and say, politely "No..... I work for a living..... in the private sector"

The private sector is a reference to only businesses that are not under direct government control.

Yikes a loonie preaching about govt control !

The private sector is a reference to businesses.
Not people.

please answer the question
when was the last time you encountered a business with no people?
We will even make the question multiple choice to help you

A) Last week
B) two years ago
C) never
D) six pm today

Just because you don't understand where the government's money comes from there's no need to accuse me of pivoting.
In fact, your evasive maneuvers are proof of you pivoting.
