Dear Count Jim Flaherty
Saturday, February 10th, 2007
If you keep talking about allowing for family income splitting, you had better deliver or you’ll have a backlash coming at you for the next election. My guess is they will propose it in a budget they assume will NEVER get passed, and then use it as a plank in their election platform.Jim Flaherty keeps making statements like:
“Joint filing is one of the items that is on the table,” Flaherty told the Canadian Press in an interview from Rome. He was in Europe for a meeting of the G-7 finance ministers.
Which table we talkin‘ about here Mr. Finance Minister? Table Hockey table? Pool table? Dinner table? All I can say is that if it’s on the table, it better not get knocked off and forgotten about, or I will be MIGHTY peeved.
