An Open Letter to Mr. Harper

REAPER · 06-16-2009, 08:43 PM

Dear Mr. Harper,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Canada's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks and car companies, that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan:

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new Canadian CAR. Twenty million cars ordered -Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school / college /university - Crime rate fixed

5) Buy $50 of alcohol / tobacco / petrol a week... there's your money back in duty / tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back
their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

Right on

.
I had a similar thought a couple weeks ago when they said in a commercial that the year before the "Scratch and Win Lottery" (or whatever it is called) had payed out a total of 67 million dollar. I was thinking; there are 32 million Canadians, give everybody two million, than there is still four million left over and next I also came up with a similar "problem solved" list like above.

Give me a couple million and I will quit my job and open a dog rescue.

Nice bunch, my dogs are not that easy with other dogs. Maybe I should go on that television show "At the end of my leash". LOL

Thanks, they get along great with each other and other dogs. Cruz is so gentle he is going to change the way people see Pit Bulls.
