News Clips: Fred asks more than one fine question

Londoner Fred Huska begins a recent letter to the editor by stating he has ‘a question’. Turns out he has two, maybe three.


There is certainly a question there about whether stripping the public sector of bargaining rights is as far as the government alliance will go. After all, the current deficit is huge.

Plus, there may be a question there about what type of ‘fantasy mindset’ some people have. E.g., is it Type A (the private sector is untouchable) or Type B (everyone, including corporations, should sacrifice some freedoms). 

Then, there is another obvious question - his own - that Fred doesn’t count for some reason. And he should because it's a good one.


Are tax cuts working out well?

More questions, from GH:

How so?

Should we raise taxes in a fair manner so that all citizens sacrifice more $$ and freedoms according to their means?
