As a concerned Canadian I call upon you to ensure the Marshall Savings Plan is implemented in the upcoming 2010 budget. Diane Francis (Editor, Financial Post) considers the Marshall Savings Plan a "brilliant" solution.
The Marshall Savings Plan will:
Resolve Jim Flaherty s income trust policy fiasco
Preserve income trusts as an essential "profit sharing" investment choice for ALL Canadians
Create a massive new stream of cash tax revenue for the government ($6 Billion per year)
Provide a new source of revenue equal to 0.75% GST increase, but with no GST increase required
Help the 75% of Canadians without pensions and preserve the means to a decent retirement income and standard of living
Halt the continued rash of takeovers of vulnerable income trusts (eg. state-owned Abu Dhabi Energy acquiring Prime West etc)
Restore a level playing field between the 75% of Canadians without pensions (RRSPs) and the 25% of Canadians with pensions
Promote saving and investment in Canada by Canadians
Direct the vast pool of Canadians retirement savings into real investment in the Canadian economy
Avoid the systemic risks to our economy from toxic investments like ABCP and Manulife s Income Plus
