Can Jack get the Cons to agree Part 11

Jehovah, compromising on your principles so sucks. Glade I'm not an NDPer.

how about instead of compromising, Jack goes around explaining why giving the rich people tax cuts and making the working class pay for everything is a total scam.

You know just highlite the facts.

Like this, Corporations have gotten X amount of tax cuts over the last X years and the income gap has grown. Tax cuts in America have resulted in infrastructure degradation like this( then shows pictures of inner city Detroit). Then shows pictures of greedy bankers living the goodlife and unemplyed workers lining up at food banks.

Then goes on to say, that as corporate tax cuts have fallen, consumption taxes have risen. You, show the working class the way it is. That the rich are paying less taxes and living in the an advanced country like Canada as the working class pays for it through consumption taxes and user fees.

You know, just high lite the facts. It's simple, explain to people what surplus value is, what the means of production are and how individual ownership  fucks everyone over.

Na, I guess Jack is right, compromising on their principles is way much easier.

I don't think there is any chance of that. If the Liberals let the budget pass while the NDP and BQ vote against it - it would be such a total humiliation that they would never recover. They have been so categorical and have been so gratuitous in needling the NDP about wanting to "cave" etc... that if they flip flopped at the last minute, they would never live it down.

The other thing is that Harper wants an election. Even if the Liberals did abstain on the budget vote (unlikely), I'm sure Harper would find a way to get around that.

In each of the other cases where the Liberals kept the Tories alive - they signaled their intention to do so far in advance and/or they left themselves some sort of an "out". Not this time - Ignatieff is still swearing up and down the country that he is 100% unswervingly committed to voting against the budget unless the Liberal Party's corporate tax cut policy is rescinded by the Conservative government. There is no escape.
