Economic Survival Plan (ESP)

[Smokey©]

If every Canadian earning under $24,000 a year were to get $2,000 a month simply for voting, why should they continue to work or would the $24,000 a year under the proposal be in addition to the $35,000 they could earn? Would the $2,000 a month be taxable?

What kind of proof would be required? A simple acknowledgement that a person got a ballot regardless of what they did with the ballot ie: voted, spoiled it or swallowed it?

For a one year period of $24,000 each, my spouse and I could take a year off work with our EI claims we would earn almost what we make now.

What would happen in the next election? Same thing again?

Keeping with the theme of privacy. I often thought to my self wilst watching television (something I rarely do) what if i am sitting here watching this dumb screen and somewhere someone is sat at a monitor watching me!

Now the US government have legislated changes to the way signals are transmitted changing from analog to digital I don't know the difference and so I won't attempt to explain it. However, whenever government legislate something I am naturally suspicious. And in this instance I do remember thinking to myself why the big push to change and all these ads saying that by February 2009 you may have to have a digital converter.

I show you this link but make no comment because I cannot verify it's accuracy but it does make one think!

Maybe others will find similar incidences and report them

Well smokey... most people like work and if they do not, they would able to have the safety of $2000 a month while they looked to find work in a place they really like. Plus what proof did we get from the banks and the auto companies we are/have bailed out? We tried trickle down and I am still dry!

just wondering smokey...do you have a better idea or just the negative stuff again and again? ps I love you! And smokey do not quit your job yet as the EI programme does not pay out to those whom quit, you must be laid off or fired with out cause...

My post was not intended to be negative but if we are to look at this with open eyes, quite often there are questions that need to be asked.

My idea was posted earlier.

Why must we continually ask the government for help with our finances. Maybe we should help ourselves? How about if every Canadian citizen sent the Government of Canada an extra $17.50 a month. Family of four could send them $70.00 a month. If we were to do this every month for the next twelve years, take 33,390,141 Canadians @ $17.50 X 144 months = $84,143,154,000.

The government could ONLY use this money to pay off the debt and would have to additionally pay the current premium on the current interest. Then we would have a surplus!

Perhaps I could get laid off
