See, I don't get this. Natural resource jobs are always boom and bust so I have no pity for the dip **** that bought a $600,000 home, a tricked out $80,000 pickup, a boat, an ATV, a snowmobile and all the blow they could handle on a weekly basis.
How ****ing stupid do you have to be?

what about the accountant who works for an oil company that had to lay off 60% of its workforce who lives in a place where a single family home starts at 350,000
not everyone affected by low commodity prices is some dumb highschool dropout rig pig

Did you call socialism daddy when yours was unemployed and out drinking all night?
Did socialism read you bed time stories and tuck you in at nights?

to be fair i totally agree with u
i would say people who work for 6 months steady then take 6 months off can get ****ed, but if you have a crew and need to get by on ei for 2 months because theres no jobs, i don't mind paying for that

Like bowl of blood, you pay less income tax than I do. ****.
EI is pretty much just like welfare/unemployment here in the US and like Canada a lot of commodity workers (oil) live off-and-on unemployment.
How is Canada with illegal immigrants and such? I would assume the US misses out on tax revenue from illegal immigrants that give fake information or work under the table. But I really have no idea how true or much of an impact that is on the revenues.

its not that big of a deal tbh, i dont think our gov even keeps track of how many illegal immigrants they think there are. i tried to google and the highest number i could find was 500,000
i can definitely imagine in a country with 10x the population this would be a pretty huge problem. 350 million ppl though thats a load of cash no matter how you slice it

Not only do we have it but you can't even work for free, provide community service, without having to legally pay into it
Which I find very amusing for some reason
And no it isn't welfare imo

The robin hood tax is exactly why this conversation is moot. Wake me when the guy running on the anti-big business ticket gets elected He'd be better off on a punching babies and puppies ticket.

lol 'robin hood tax'. Now that's amusing.
Prince John = the Gvt in that folk lore tale
So an ideology (aka communist/socialist/progressive) that is all about the gvt is now going to rob from itself?
$ucker$.

Yep, guess who is the main group telling you how bad this stuff is? The rich.
The rich let us sit and argue our silly ideologies while they cash in.

None of this stuff is in the executive purview anyhoo. If you want Robin Hoods you must elect them to congress, not the presidency.
