Flat Tax for Canada







Flat Tax for Canada

By

James Bredin

When did a politician show incentive or brains?
Slaves to their party -- disciplined and in chains,
The most taxed and overtaxed people in the globe,
While Canadian politicians in scandal probe.

No tax reform from political party nerds,
Not on the agenda of those in lock-step herds,
Party discipline -- political gobbledygook,
Stay out of the adscam scandal by hook or by crook.

And flat tax is a notion too complex for them,
It’s the party -- not the people and sing the anthem,
They’re not into equality tax arrangements,
As they avoid this like the plague to our amazement.

They prefer the status quo tax loopholes everywhere,
Opaque nightmare too complicated to compare,
Where their friends have their money hidden overseas,
Where friendly tax auditors charge enormous fees.

These Ottawa socialists have special-interest friends,
Too busy at the moment to look at the trends,
The number of countries that already have flat tax,
And more all the time but these are only the facts.

We need a leader – not a politician up there,
-- Not some scandal plagued minister in despair,
Advantages of the single tax rate are numerous,
It’s been done and this is not something humorous.

Known to have positive impact on revenue,
But they’re bound to the status quo and want no review,
Socialists and communists not much into change,
Wait for the US to do it and then arrange.

Tax simplification not on their agenda,
Pumping out adscam political propaganda,
Avoid heated debate and numbers like the plague,
Democracy too – you just lie and be vague

Flat Tax is Forbidden

By

James Bredin



Has flat tax been completely forbidden?
By politicians who like to remain hidden,
Tax and spend and free travel overseas,
Sitting and drinking in a tropical breeze.

Can’t discuss this in the dining compartment,
On assignment and it’s not our department,
Was not discussed in caucus or committee,
Next year we’re going to Panama City.

Canadians, you see, love being overtaxed,
Payment for multiculturalism so relax,
Fifty percent of income plus GST,
So complex indeed that no one can see.

Canadians are always quiet and polite,
Plus they have Trudeau’s Charter of Rights,
So who put this flat-tax idea in your head?
The Conservatives – certainly not the feds.

Those who talk flat tax will have to be expelled,
Put in prison or mental home and then held,
This type of stuff cannot be allowed,
Canadians love their taxes and they’re so proud.
