      XPost: can.politics, ab.politics, edm.general              And yeah . . . she's too young to have Alzheimers.       The '10% flat tax for corporations' is about to end. The rich took home 90%       of their salaries; the       working class about 60%.       How's *that* for needing a change in Alberta's governments?              And the oil companies royalties to the province?              'According to provincial statistics, 49 oilsands projects in northern Alberta       are currently in the       pre-payout phase as of Dec. 31, 2012, paying royalty rates that top out at       nine per cent of gross       revenues.'              In Norway: foreign and domestic oil companies paid the Norwegian government       78% in taxes on their       oil revenues.       Anyone see the difference between a right-wing run jurisdiction and one that       is run for the benefit       of its people?       ___________________________________________       National Post / Postmedia News | May 1, 2015                     Ralph Klein’s daughter endorsing NDP in 2015 Alberta election                     Call it another kind of Klein revolution.              Angie Klein, daughter of former PC Premier Ralph Klein, is backing the NDP in       the May 5 provincial       election.              In a video posted to YouTube, Klein said she was “very proud” of many of       the things done by her       father’s Progressive Conservative government.              â€śBut one of the things I’m least proud of is the flat tax,” she said.              â€śIn order to scrap the flat tax, what we’ve got to do is, we have to vote       NDP.”              Klein — who died in 2013 — introduced the 10 per cent flat tax on income       in 1999.              Jim Prentice’s version of the PC government actually killed it in this       year’s provincial budget,       introducing a new progressive health care levy on income for those making over       $50,000 and new       higher tax brackets for individuals earning over $100,000.              NDP spokeswoman Cheryl Oates said the video was created by the local       Edmonton-Centre campaign and       was not an initiative of the party.       _______________________________________________              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
