Mulroney's two for one tax offer


Global financial meltdown finding you short for cash? Have a young family that’s accustomed to the good things in life? Don’t have staff to take care of things for you on a timely basis?

Well then, step right up ladies and gentlemen, get your two for one Brian Mulroney tax leakage offer. Declare one dollar out of two to Revenue Canada, and pay half the taxes that you are owing to all Canadians. One proviso: mail before midnight six years from now. No questions asked.

As with all things in Ottawa, the time value of money means nothing. GST optional as well.

I heard about Mulroney’s two for one tax offer as well. Plus the time value of money. Made this a real sweetheart deal. He professed he knew nothing about the final arrangements......yeah right!
