Standardbred Canada – A Call For Action In British Columbia
Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. … Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. … The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Phil has a question:
With most of the British Columbia population residing in urban areas what are the chances of the BC government maintaining the subsidies for the standardbreds.
[The lesson is that] Great Canadian doesn’t want live racing at Fraser Downs, and they don’t want live racing at Flamboro and Georgian Downs.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
