Just last night we were calling for local CBC morning man Puffie the Cluffie's head.
But this morning P.Cluffie earned a reprieve when he actually knocked the SS Gordo's resident 3rd Deck Aft/Starboard compartment Cheerleader Judy Virk off her talking points by barking, incredulously....
"But Judy, the first round of tax cuts heavily favoured the rich!"
Ms. Virk was so flabbergasted by this demonstration of a journalistic spine transplant that she sputtered something about this being just plain wrong.
Why?
Because, according to Virk, since we have a progressive tax system we also have progressive tax cuts (ie. the rich get way more).
Which gave Will McMartin an opening to point out that the tax cuts coupled with the crippling increases in user/social service/health insurance/school fees etc. are actually doing exactly the opposite. Specifically, the SS Gordo has created a regressive tax system in which it is has become very, very expensive to be poor.
Wow!
Keep it up P. Cluffie and we may reconsider that call for your permanent re-posting to Squamish.
