   That's IF those corporations pay any taxes.  Harper has given out so   
   many tax breaks, deferrals, research grants and exemptions to them that   
   they now pay a token amount to the Canadian tax coffers - the rest they   
   move offshore.

   Thanks for the advice on how to invest money, Dobranski.  But the topic   
   is having the corporations assume more of the tax load, like they used   
   to do in the 1960s and 1970s.  This bullshit of the corporations getting   
   a free ride while the rest of Canadians struggle has got to come to an end.   
      
   Justin won't end it.  He supports many of Harper's corporate policies.   
      
   We need a man like Mulcair to take the reigns - before we find Canadians   
   with a poverty rate higher than that in China or Pakistan.
