Consider: Budget due June 6 will phase out political subsidies
Mr. Layton says in response to ending subsidies:"Take away public financing and essentially what you are saying is those with the best ability to raise money get to have their ideas heard by Canadians and the rest are essentially silenced," Layton said Wednesday in Ottawa.
Essentially Mr. Layton, Yes! Your startling revelation and analysis is bang on!
What is ever so obvious to millions of Canadians has finally been made plain to you. This represents the first time EVER I have seen you Mr. Layton clearly articulate a 'free market principle' without using any word ending in "-ist" or "-ism": thank you.
If you take away 'public financing' that means you have to work and earn your success! And the problem with this concept is...???

You want something in politics, go get it! After all, you have an able minded and competent caucus, correct?
It sounds like you are insulting the intelligence of your caucus Mr. Layton by stating they do not have the "ability" to raise enough money. And yes, you did say, 'those with the best ability get...'. So, train and grow in skills. I know it's not "fair"...so don't go there with me Mr. Layton. Simply accept your caucus has the potential to learn and grow and teach them to get results. I barely survived a deep recession by working with our employees to try and become the best and get results. Through hard work, learning and taking responsibility we survived. Now that you got the principle that 'being the best produces results' I urge you to show some leadership and train your caucus to be the best and consequently get results.
That's leadership your team can count on Mr. Layton.
