His party’s commitment for jobs includes the creation of 2,200 positions through a manufacturers’ tax credit and a one-year program to rebate half the provincial sales tax on new home construction.

The rebate program, which would be retroactive to May 1, 2009, would allow up to 1,500 participants and provide a rebate up to $7,000.

The party is pledging to increase renewable energy to 25 per cent by 2015, a move the NDP asserts will generate $3 million a year in corporate tax revenue.

On emergency rooms, the NDP are vowing to open 17 more beds at the Halifax Infirmary, create a $3 million fund to recruit more doctors for hard-to-fill shifts at emergency rooms, reduce paper work for family doctors and spend $1.5 million to bring in one additional nurse practitioner for each district health authority.

As well, the party promises to reduce surgery wait times by spending $1.3 million on pre-hab teams that would help make sure people are fit for surgery through physiotherapy, nutrition, weight loss and other measures.

Mr. Dexter said his party plans to keep more young people in Nova Scotia by providing up to $15,000 to university and college grads who stay in Nova Scotia. After graduation, students who settle in this province can apply for a tax rebate every year for six years.

The NDP said it would create 250 new spots at the Nova Scotia community college for in-demand jobs. The NDP pledge to add 250 child care spaces and start a program called Every Kid Counts to help parents.

A platform plank from the last provincial election — to take the eight per cent provincial portion of the HST off basic home electricty — reappeared in Tuesday’s platform. The tax removal, which would cost $28 million a year, would take effect on Oct. 1, 2009.

The MacDonald government had removed the eight per cent tax off all electricity, but last spring scaled back the rebate to only electricity used for heat.

The party said it would provide $1 million for 1,000 insulation grants for low-income home owners. It also calls for an independent review of auto insurance, but the platform does not include a call for public auto insurance, a previous NDP plank.

The NDP said it would increase by 50 per cent the budget for resurfacing rural roads and launch a five-year paving plan.

For seniors, Mr. Dexter said they would bring in $500 self-managed care allowances for up to 250 people and $1.5 million home adaptations funds. Nursing homes would get nurse practitioners and residents would not have to pay security deposits.

The NDP would shrink the provincial cabinet to 12 ministers from 18, and eliminate seven executive assistants, an estimated savings of about $850,000. It would spend $100,000 for a private sector accounting firm to conduct an independent review of “the true state” of the province’s finances.

Gordon Brown’s Movie trailer on his recession and how he has taxed & borrowed Great Britain back into the dark ages. Gordon Brown the Recession creator,the most unpopular Prime minister to walk on the face of this earth runs up the biggest debt since 1946 and tries to spend our money trying to save his political career.

What a cheat and liar this man is laying the blame at the feet of everyone else apart from himself.

The man is a failed deluded looser and should be locked up.

When you ask him about the debt he fails to tell you about the billions of PFI debt, pensions debt, Northern Rock debt, Bradford & Bingly debt and ofcourse the other banks bail-out incurred debt.

This man simply conceals the truth so much that he cannot be trusted and is a danger to the well being of the entire nation. He tells you that he cares and he is worried about you and your homes and jobs. DON’T BE FFOLED - he only cares about himself and his lousy job.

“I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective: a graduated inheritance tax increasing rapidly with the size of the estate.
- Theodore Roosevelt

Every dollar spent by the government must be paid for either by taxes or by more borrowing with greater debt. The only way to make more tax cuts now is to have bigger and bigger deficits and to borrow more and more money. Either we or our children will have to bear the burden of this debt. This is one kind of chicken that always comes home to roost. An unwise tax cutter, my fellow citizens, is no real friend of the taxpayer.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

In 1986, Reagan signed legislation greatly increasing the earned income tax credit, a credit for low-income workers that reduces the impact of payroll taxes in order to boost take-home pay above poverty levels. When the credit is more than the amount of federal income taxes owed by an individual, that person receives a tax refund.

It’s the best anti-poverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation measure to come out of Congress.
- Ronald Reagan

With the economic crisis, most of us are not concerned with the welfare of Wall Street but instead the stability of our homes and jobs.

Obama offers his 95% tax cut as a means of securing Ohios electorate. But a closer look at this proposal will show damaging ramifications on the American economy.

Minimizing taxes for these individuals will pressure those without the cut; American industry and small business.

This will, in turn, limit the availability of jobs and raise the prices of goods and services.

Only then would price controls and increased government involvement in industry attempt to solve the problem.

McCain is an advocate of eliminating superfluous government spending and sustaining small government.

John McCain will permanently repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax — a tax that was paid nearly exclusively by 25 million middle class families.

By repealing this tax, middle class families will save nearly $60 billion in a single year.

**A middle class family with children will save an average of over $2,700.**

A vote for John McCain is a vote for a REAL tax cut for working American families.

AN ISSUE THAT LIBERALS, INDEPENDENT AND CONSERVATIVES CAN AGREE WITH!!!
Mike Huckabee is a supporter and a leader in the FAIRTAX(tax reform) and that is why John McCain should pick Mike Huckabee for Vice President!!!
Call McCain’s office at 703-418-2008 and let him know you want the FAIRTAX and Mike Huckabee for Vice President!
A MUST READ!!! A brief summary of the FAIRTAX
A. The FAIRTAX will eliminate income taxes, withholding, self-employment taxes, bonus taxes, overtime taxes, social security taxes, medicare taxes, alternative minimum taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, corporate taxes, capital gain taxes, dividends taxes, small business taxes, and replace it with a 23% sales tax. Plus it will give each American household that are citizens a rebate check based on the poor necessities of life. It will also abolish the 16th admendment and prevent the government from taxing us twice!

B. Its Fair because for example if you are rich and you buy a $20,000 rolex watch you pay more in taxes but the same percentage as someone buying a $95.00 fossil watch so it is fair for the rich and the poor that may one day become rich.

C. The FAIRTAX is Fair for the poor and middle class because of the rebate check. Under the FAIRTAX there is no taxes on necessity items (food, clothing, water etc), but it is not a necessity to have a party and to buy lots of food or to go on a shopping spree and buy lots of cloths. That is the purpose of the FAIRTAX rebate checks, and the size of the rebate check depends on the size of your household. For example base on 2004 estimates: Single person Annual Consumption Allowance(ACA) is $9,310 and will receive a rebate of $2,254 per year / a Couple ACA is $12,490 and will receive a rebate of $4,508 per year/ Couple with one child ACA is $16,090 and will receive a rebate of $5,290 per year/ Couple with two children ACA is $19,350 will receive a rebate of $6,072 per year. The FAIRTAX will untaxed the poor and allow the poor and middle class to make money without being penalize for making to much money. The current tax system penalize your ability to make money when you work overtime, receiving a bonus, move up from one tax bracket to another, working two jobs etc.

D. The FAIRTAX will give all Americans the ability to pay down debt faster. With the FAIRTAX you will keep your full paycheck and you only pay taxes only when you buy something. HAVING YOUR FULL PAYCHECK WILL ALLOW YOU TO PAY OFF DEBT FASTER!

E. The current tax system tax you base on your income and quadrant (if you are an employee, small business owner, investor, corporation). The employee and small business owner get hit the hardest in taxes, and it puts are government in a powerful position that chooses the winners and losers of the tax system. That is one main reason why there are 34,000 lobbyist that lobby 535 congressmen in Washington. Are Elected officials are acting like kings that receives gifts from lobbyist in exchange of relief in the tax system for their corporation, and OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS EXPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT THE LOBBIST IN WASHINGTON. The FAIRTAX will eliminate the confusion that our elected officials have on who they should be representing

F. The FAIRTAX will remove all the tax loop holes that millionaires and billionaires enjoy because they are able to pay for the best tax lawyers, the best tax accountant and the best lobbyist that remove their tax burdens every year. The current tax system taxes based on income produce not wealth assets. I am a Capitalist but it is not capitalism when the government can choose who the winners and losers are going to be and it is not capitalism when the current tax system taxes one group of people better than another. For one example Bill Gates is worth over $47billion if he does not produce an income this year in the eyes of the current tax system Bill Gates is just as poor as the homeless living under a bridge! The FAIRTAX will remove this nonsense. If the FAIRTAX was implemented than Bill Gates will be taxed based on what he buys no more loop holes.

Greens Senate Candidate for the ACT Kerrie Tucker joined with activists and artists with painted cardboard houses and placards at City Hill, to emphasise the need to think outside the box on housing issues, and call on the Federal Government to accept responsibility for its part in the crisis affordable housing.

“The unaffordability of housing affects almost everyone, and Federal Government policies are a part of the problem” Ms Tucker said.

“The Federal Government needs to review all taxes, grants and concessions including negative gearing, Capital Gains Tax exemptions and First Home Owners Grants to assess their impact on the housing market.”

“Federal government economic policies currently stimulate investment at the top end of the market which has been a factor in the affordability crisis we now have.”

Ms Tucker called for the major parties to commit to a National Affordable Housing Plan.

“Housing is a basic human need. It is the fundamental base from which people can move out of poverty through education, employment, proper health care and nutrition and community inclusion” Ms Tucker said.

“Lack of housing affordability feeds into social problems including homelessness, poverty, crime, and family instability.”
