The
Economic Inequality of Fascism
The economic inequality foisted upon the Poor is such that the Poor are badly housed, badly clothed, eat badly, forced to leave school at a young age to work at a terrible low-wage job without benefits. Consequently, the health of the Poor is bad and they die young quite simply because the Gov't does NOT give them enough money to have a decent standard of living in order to live a long and productive life. In short, because the Gov't does NOT give them an adequate amount of money to live well, this causes them undue hard- ship and extreme stress that makes them sick. This is scan- dalous that they're NOT getting their fair share of the nation's wealth given that Canada is one of the richest countries in the world. In fact, it can be said that the Gov't of Canada has always been miserly towards the Poor, the elderly, the unemployed, and those with disabilities The economic inequality the Poor endure hurts Canada's economy because their buying power is minimal. Plus, it's antidemocratic, oppressive, and harmful. And who is to blame for this? The Gov't of Canada, of course. It's the big villain and is demonstrably a totally irresponsible and unethical Gov't especially when it comes to minimum wage that is regulated by the provincial Gov't. The minimum wage traps economically the Working Poor, ("the economically exploited" because they have no political power at all unlike the Rich), into living a subsistence lifestyle that resembles that of caged animals. It's horrific to note that historically, the minimum wage was set by the Govt at 45% of the average wage. The É(eh)PC is the only political party committed to hiking the minimum wage so that the Poor have a living wage. The É(eh)PC will increase it to $15, later to $18, and finally to $20 within a 5-year period: this will stimulate consumer buying and that will create jobs. For the É(eh)PC, it's a matter of economic equality and social justice. In addition, the É(eh)PC will oblige businesses to pass profits in excess of 10% to all their employees equally as bonus pay at the end of its financial year. Currently, Canada is a FASCIST police state that promotes economic inequality between the small number of Rich and the very large number of Poor: this hampers our economic growth. However, Canadians will enjoy true democracy, one that is economically egalitarian where everyone profits from the liberties of choice and from an array of options because they'll have INCOME SECURITY thanks to the social programs of the É(eh)PC that will allow them to savour THE GOOD LIFE - whether they're employed or NOT! |
