fucking morons

You know the answer to that.

Quote from: DKG on May 02, 2024, 07:26:34 AMIt's a retroactive tax on a group of professionals who do not have access to pensions, sick days or insurance. The vast majority of family doctors and just doctors in general in Canada are practicing through what's called a professional corporation. It's a retroact5ive tax on a group of professionals who do not have access to pensions, sick days or insurance.

A capital gain is the difference between the cost of an asset, a holiday home, an investment property, a stock or a mutual fund and its total sale price.

Right now, only 50 per cent of capital gains are taxable; the budget proposes to increase that "inclusion rate" from 50 per cent to two-thirds on capital gains above $250,000 for individuals.

I agree with Jessica Brandon-Jepp of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's senior director of fiscal and financial services policy who said the capital gains hike could affect growth. This at a time when Canada is experiencing a productivity crisis.

Former Liberal finance minister Bill Morneau also criticized the proposed changes to capital gains last week, saying it's "clearly a negative to our long-term goal, which is growth in the economy, productive growth and investments."

"This was very clearly something that, while I was there, we resisted. We resisted it for a very specific reason — we were concerned about the growth of the country," he said last week at a post-budget Q&A session with KPMG, one of the country's large accounting firms.

"I think we always have to recognize any measure that creates a disincentive for investment not only impacts us within the country but also impacts foreign investors that are looking at our country."

I know what is going on.  Haha!  I pay tax on Capital Gains every year.

Bill Morneau is worried about.....Bill Morneau.

His opinion is questionable because of his conflict of interest.

Increased tax percentages on increased levels of income is the norm.  This is just applying the same principle to Capital Gains.


And BTW people, this is always an ongoing game with the government.

You know what you all should be thinking about?

Not taxes.

You should be thinking about expenditures.  Government spending.  That is where we all should focus.

Taxes have to pay for the spending.  If the spending was disciplined, there would not be a need for tax increases.

Looking at it, it might be from the 70's or 80's.

Quote from: Oliver the Second on May 01, 2024, 07:23:00 PMBourbon is a whiskey so this poast is allowed. I hope.

Anyway my grandpa gave me this bottle of Jim Beam way back when so it could be anywhere from 20 to 30 years old. How long does it stay good for? I'm wondering if I should drink it down before it goes bad or if I should store it longer until it's the best time.

I've drank Whiskey that was way over a decade old. As long as the cap isnt left off for a long time, I think it will last forever or until the cork rots.

When you decide to crack it open, you should drink/compare a brand new bottle for the hell of it.

Personally, I hate Jim Beam. I call it "rot gut" because it acts like poison once it hits my stomach. Some people love it tho.

Quote from: Moonie on May 02, 2024, 07:24:29 PMI can't argue the Old Testament and God and how he carried out the prophets.  He did what he did so he could point to most important thing his son Jesus.

Jesus is the new covenant with Christianity.  He's missing in Israel.  So the Christian PALESTINIANS consider the New Testament holy ground. 

They want their holy ground protected from hate just like the Jews do.  Sadly they are the minority and the Jews are treating them just like the rest. Fact.

Simply put, there is NOTHING Jesus did to negate ownership of the land or the promises associated with it.

In a few weeks it will be the 20th anniversary of my grandpa's passing. I think that just might be the appropriate occasion to open it and have a few toasts.
