Mike's Daily Comment
While consumers are angry, frustrated by high gas prices one aspect is being overlooked. Both the BC and federal governments are thrilled with high prices. That’s what the constantly increasing carbon tax is designed to do – raise prices and discourage driving.
Mike talks about the baloney of all the job promises made by politicians. Aaron Dun drops by to talk about a couple of great ideas for people looking for higher yields and growth. Ozzie weighs in on the old debate “to rent vs buy.”
Only the tax hungry BC government thinks that buying a second home and holding it for 10, 20, 30 years while paying property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep is speculating – and you don’t even have to sell it for the government to demand your money.
Saying to BC Utilities Commission inquiry that is looking into the cause of high gas prices in BC that it’s not allowed to consider the impact of government taxes or other policies was a joke…right?…no. Okay, well it was laughable.
