Letter
to the
Editor
The editor;
The policies of the Trudeau government seem to have no heart or
feeling for the people. A deliberate program to put .people out of
work as a tool to control inflation does not at all convince Canadians
that the present government has either feeling or understanding of
the terrible misery caused by such action. A policy of ever increasing
taxes has taken a staggering toll of small Canadian businesses. Every
city, town and village has suffered in this fashion. We need all these
small enterprises as they are the backbone of our economy,
The policies for Agriculture have brought chaos and disaster to
the industry, Probably more farmers have left or lost their farms in
this government's short term of office than in any other comparable
time in Canadian history.
The Trudeati government's foreign policy has caused Canada a
drastic loss of international prestige and distrust from other nations.
'The move toward the Communist-bloc countries is not understood
or trusted. The fact that emotional issues such as abortion,
homosexuality and drugs, are introduced into Parliament instead of
measures to solve our economic 'problems gives the impression that
the government is playing with Parliament. No one denies the
importance of these issues but our economic problems, including
housing, inflation and unemployment, which the government, if
tackling at all, is doing so in the most ineffective way possible. It is
not much wonder that the Canadian people are tired of being fooled.
It is hard for people on pensions and fixed incomes to appreciate
why there is not enough money for housing projects or for increases
in old age pensions, etc., yet there appears to be millions of dollars
wasted on travel to faraway places all over the world and which has
brought no return to the Canadian people and, in many instances,
has caused reactions in those countries.
The unemployment rate for Canada jumped to 6.5 percent in
August. The total number of Canadians who are without work is the
largest on record for August since Statistics Canada began keeping
records in 1946. The Trudeau government maintains that
unemployment is constantly falling but all statistics indicate that
unemployment is ,continually on the rise and the full effect of
President Nixon's new economic policies have barely begun to be
felt here in Canada.
However, the government should not try to blame its failures
upon Mr. Nixon's new economic policies. The unemployment
situation in Canada was created by the federal government in the
name of a war against inflation which has now proven to be a sham.
This situation was long established before the announcement was
made by Mr. Nixon. The first priority for the government must be to
take steps to prepare for a hard winter ahead.
Immediate action must be taken to stimulate the economy and to
face up to the serious unemployment problem. These include: (a)
personal income tax reductions on a sliding scale with greatest
reductions for low and middle income Canadians; (b) elimination of
or drastic reduction in the federal sales tax on building materials; (c)
the negotiation of the Canada Assistance Plan to provide help for the
provinces and municipalities during the winter months and (d)
establishment of an immediate federal-provincial conference to
co-ordinate the winter-works program.
Most of ,is had the feeling that our dollar was shrinking in the
purchases we were making. This was confirmed recently when we
learned that the cost of living index had jumped to a record level of
135 percent — a rise of .7 percent in one month. In dollar terms, it
meant that last year's food bill of $13.19 cost $1359 in August of
this year, 26 cents more than in July. The purchasing power of the
1961 consumer dollar is now reduced to the equivalent of 74 cents.
The government has paid a high price in terms of human suffering
and unemployment to develop its strategy against inflation, Today
we have 'infratioe w
and
Trudeau is supposed to have cured by
44 , 41 increasnig faxation nd increasing unemployment. Now, as a result,
we haVe the Wbrst of two worlds — unemployment and inflation,
The Financial Times worked out the calculations of what happens
to a wage-earner's raise of $1,000 when taxes, unemployment
insurance and pension contributions are deducted. A man with a
wife and four children earning $11,000 per year would lose 33
percent of the raise in these deductions as would a single man
earning $7,000. A man with a wife and four children earning $7,000
would lose 47 percent of the raise. The amount of money taken off
the top is bad enough, But the figures show dramatically how
middle-income families are bearing the brunt of the cost of schemes
which Mesirs. Mackasey, Munro and Benson have divined, each in his
own way.
It is incredible that a man earning $7,000, with a wife and four
children, should have to pay more of his increase to the government
than does someone making $11,000 with the same number of
dependants. Such anomalies make a mockery of the Liberal myth of
managerial expertise. They are the result of an utterly
unco-ordinated approach. Mr. Mackasey takes money under the
guise of unemployment insurance which is taxation for welfare, not
insurance. Mr. Memo purports to judge what families deserve family
allowances and establishes a great new bureaucracy which has to be
told every time a wage-earner's income changes.
Mr. Benson has a Tax Reform bill before Parliament which upon
close scrutiny is becoming more and More confused and
complicated. The welfare state is often justified as taking money
from the rich and giving it to the poor, But there are not enough rich
people around to support the ambitious social welfare Schemes
which the government has undertaken in such piece-meal, incoherent
fashion. The plans hit hardest at the middle-income earners who are
the majority of Canadian taxpayers, They are the ones whose
initiative to work longer and harder is being sapped by such punitive
measures.
