   Ralph Klein's daughter endorses the NDP

   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?

   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.
