Right before resigning her position, working for the citizens of BC, Ms Taylor eliminated the provinces bank tax worth about $180M annually to the provincial coffers. She was then appointed to the board of directors of the TD Bank. <br />We can rest assured though that the banks turned around and hired a whole bunch of new employees, because that's what happens when taxes are reduced.<br />One more thing, Ms Taylor was also appointed as Chancellor of SFU, where she can advise students on fashionable shoes and the intricacies of Canadian banking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-74011426593544421592011-05-16T20:10:51.836-07:002011-05-16T20:10:51.836-07:00"Federal Communications commissioner Meredith..."Federal Communications commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker announced Wednesday that she will resign from the FCC on June 3 and join Comcast-NBC Universal as its senior vice president of governmental affairs.<br /><br /> "The commissioner’s announcement comes four months after she voted to approve a joint venture between Comcast and NBC Universal."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-tech/post/fcc-commissioner-meredith-baker-to-join-comcast-nbc/2011/05/11/AFYfl1rG_blog.html" rel="nofollow">FCC commissioner Meredith Baker to join Comcast-NBC</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-38842673453429006272011-05-16T18:53:02.695-07:002011-05-16T18:53:02.695-07:00There are always trillions for bullets, bankers an...There are always trillions for bullets, bankers and oil company subsidies. The whole system is a shakedown scam that would make Al Capone blush. The mainstream press just supports this BS, since they are owned by the same elite that owns us and our politicians. The same politicians who are promising that tax cuts will create jobs and a better economy, while the sheep phone the talk shows in support of this nonsense that will demolish the social contract established in the 20's and 30's. Get ready for austerity with new super prisons and tougher sentences for those who complain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
