ELECTIONS ARE a game of truth and consequences in
which the consequences are more important than the truth.
And that applies especially to the socialists.

You cannot expect Mike Har-
court to hold up his true agenda.
You cannoi expect him to say he
will kick business in the backside.
Or that he will hold a money par-
ty for teachers, government
employees, hospital workers, In-
dians, freaks and left-wing
whiners. Or that he will suck up
like crazy to the minorities. But
that is what he will do.

At the weekend, for instance,
he was actually wearing a turban
in Surrey and groveliing on the
floor of a Sikh temple. The man
has no pride.

-.- You can get a lot of laughs
listening to the mumbo-jumbo.

Harcourt puts on his banker
suit and assures business he loves

. business. Oh, there might be a
couple more taxes here and there,
but nothing much. He will save
money by cutting out government
waste. What a joke.

‘Then he makes off to lunch-
bucket land to assure it of all
things bright and beautiful.
Meanwhile, we see NDP finaace
critic Glen Clark on the box ex-
plaining how he is going to find
new funds.

ON THE OTHER HAND

He’s going to stick it to the
corporations. They must be made
to pay. Taxes are too high for the
ordinary working stiff.

Not mentioned, of course, is
that the more taxes business pays,
the higher the costs to the con-
sumer, the same poor fellow they
are pretending to help.

Also not mentioned i is that the

NDP would probably make people
pay the 6% provincial sales tax on
stuff bought in the U.S. Artful
dodgers have no piace in the so-
cialist society.

But somehow they let their lips
slip. Everyone seems to have
forgotten, for instance, what
Leonard Krog, the Parksville-
Qualicum candidate, said some
months ago:

“‘Believe me, we're all going to |
have to pay higher income taxes.”

I believe. How else can the
NDP pay off all its friends?
Besides, socialist governments
always screw money out of the
working man (as opposed to the
non-working man) while yelling
that the rich must be robbed in
order to pay the poor.

Another slip of the lip came
from Jack Hughesman, a
Manitoba delegate to last year’s

convention of the Canadian Union -

of Public Employees.

Said Jack: ‘‘Every dollar spent
getting the likes of Mike Harcourt
elected will yield $10 to our
treasury.”"

I believe him, too.

It is not enough for the NDP

Wednesday, October 9, 1991 — North Shore News - 9

The NDP will make us pay

that a family earning $48,000 a
year in B.C. pays to all levels of
government a total of 318,631 in
taxes, excluding those paid on
natural resources. (Source:
Statistics Canada and the Fraser
Institute.) So watch your wallets.

Whether Rita Johnston is right
about the $15 billion deficit we
can expect from the NDP I don’t
know. I do know we can’t expect
prudence and that we can be sure
of horrors galore.

Watch for handsome handouts
to the homos, lesbians, wimmin
and AIDS crowd.

Watch for more reverse
discrimination favoring minorities
in the job market. Much more.

Watch for the return of sec-
ondary picketing on the labor
front.

In case you’ve forgotten, the
unions used to be able to picket
firms that had nothing to do with
a given strike but were otherwise
in some contact with them. So
they too could be shut down.
Great for business.

Look for the ecomaniacs to run
rampant. No wonder Jack Munro
looks as if he’s got a bad itch.

more

Look for the Indians to be
given huge sections of the pro-
vince, if not the whole damned
thing. That's the meaning of Har-
court’s blather about ‘‘meaningful
negotiations.’’

Look for Attorney General Moe
Sihota, the Sikh, to make it
unlawful for Legion branches to
ban turbans, and for the human
rights crowd to run amok.

There are a hundred other
things I don’t have room to go in-
to, like the pay equity fraud. But
one must be mentioned.

The Socreds have made a small
start toward putting power into
the hands of the people by means
of referendums. Harcourt never
talks about that.

Small wonder. For the NDP,
referendums are bad dreams. The
“‘people’s party’’ prefers manipu-
lation and government by pressure
group. .

Watch, too, for more govern-
ment contro! of sin. So have an
early Merry Christmas before they
ban booze. There is no limit to
the Puritan ethic.
