Taking advantage of people financially when there are no other choices could be a great way to raise revenues if it is widely applied.<br /><br />For example, we could close every street to the downtown core at 6am and only permit entry of commuters prepared to pay a user fee. Maybe $25 for each person and $500 for each vehicle. Do the same in the opposite direction when people are trying to leave the city. We could raise plenty and only inconvenience those that have to use the streets and sidewalks.<br /><br />It would be fair because those people choose to live or work in the downtown. They could live and work elsewhere if they don't want to pay road and sidewalk tolls.Norm Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762889793990336381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-53445218866673893702012-01-06T15:06:05.445-08:002012-01-06T15:06:05.445-08:00Price gouging on, when people need the services th...Price gouging on, when people need the services the most, is down to a fine art. <br /><br />It will be the same, with the stupid smart meters. The price will be gouged to the time, when families need hydro the most, dinner times and such. <br /><br />Same with gasoline, the price is gouged for Easter, May long week-end and summer vacations. <br /><br />So of course, it makes perfect sense to price gouge ferries, during the time when people want to travel the most. The million dollar salary's, are hell on the BC Ferries.<br /><br />The BC HST, has done the worst damage of all. Revenue is really down in BC. Citizens spend billions shopping in the U.S. They can save up to 50%, by doing so. They save mega-bucks gassing up their vehicles in the U.S.<br /><br />Food costs are so high, we see the underground markets cropping up all over BC. I saved $3,000 for an emergency bathroom reno, through the underground. I pay $6.50 for a chicken, as to $15.00 in the super market. All my meat, eggs and vegetables are all through the underground. <br /><br />As a senior on a pension, I would have to leave BC. My pension was good when I retired. However, the price gouging in BC is terrible. I even had to sell my car. BC really is not a good place to live, unless you are among the 99%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-38059938584259086862012-01-06T13:37:31.289-08:002012-01-06T13:37:31.289-08:00sorry, thats www.sistersagesmusings.casorry, thats www.sistersagesmusings.caKimhttp://www.sistersagesmusings.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-77157569971093441082012-01-06T13:35:12.428-08:002012-01-06T13:35:12.428-08:00I'm already a prisoner on Vancouver Island.
