The Flaw In The Budget
Although the Canadian government is trying their best to improve the living condition of the majority, it feels like the government officials are lacking the ability to use the money in the budget efficiently. It is true that the government is non-profit organization, and its pure intention is to assist the people in the country, they are not doing well enough to meet the people’s expectation. I am well aware of the budget cut implied on all schools: it is a sign of the government lacking money. I am extremely not satisfied with the Canadian government. Canada has one of the highest taxes among the developed countries in the world, such as China, United States, etc. It is evident that its development as a whole country is much slower in comparison to the other countries. China for example, has no sales tax. Although it has income tax, many rich people and corrupt government officials can successfully and illegally escape the income tax, since it is not directly taken out of their salary.The economic improvements of Canada are pale in comparison to that of China. Now looking at the United States, their taxes are also much less than that of Canada; in some states, there is no sales tax. It is true that the United States is in enormous debt due to the economic crisis, the debt did not stop the Americans from advancing in technology and other aspects. What is making all these differences? First of all, the Canadian government are TOO democratic, they cannot agree on any resolution without a vote. Elections cost too much money, and usually without any useful outcomes. Remembering last year’s federal election, the government spent almost 300 millions on it, and what was the outcome? Nothing changed! The government are too wasteful in helping the poor, while not improving the situation at all. For instance, they build a whole building to provide shelter for the poor, and the result is many people reject living in there and stayed on the street. We are all aware of the fact that China has a huge population of poor and desperate people, yet ironically, even the poorest has a house to live in, whereas in Canada, many live on the street. It is evident that the more the government attempt to help the poor, the worse the situation will become. In conclusion, the government are too inefficient, too wasteful, and the budget is not properly divided.

A couple comments: Preemptorily, your grammar is appalling. Rarely do your subjects and prepositions agree with one another. This makes your post quite difficult to read. Secondarily, you mention the federal government's actions a few times, suggesting that they have caused our problems. They haven't the school budget cuts are solely the fault of our provincial government.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the last election did change something, the government is now ruled by an overall majority of conservatives. The federal government is also doing alot better with their financing than the provincial, perhaps the lack of conservative prescence in our provincial government is to blame.
I like your destructive criticism.
