Why ‘made in China’?

Dear Editor, vest capital to create more goods, services (including jobs) and the resulting additional tax revenue that would follow

The following quote is from the economist Thomas Sowell as reported in the Daily Telegram: “When the state of Maryland raised its tax rate on people with incomes of a million dollars a year or more, the number of such people living in Maryland fell from nearly 8,000 to fewer than 6,000 Although it had been projected that the tax revenue collected from such people in Maryland would rise by $106 million, instead these revenues FELL by $257 million There was a similar reaction in Oregon and in Britain Rich people do not simply stand still to be sheared like sheep. They can either send their money somewhere else or they can leave themselves”

Let’sworktowardsarobust,investorfriendly economy that will strengthen our cities, provinces, country and citizens and do away with theideathatwecantaxourwaytoprosperity!

Every once in while there’s a story where a journalist writes about an event that is happening here in Richmond and it makes me question “Why? Surely we can do better ”

Recently, there was an article called “Art unveiled at last” where a piece of public art that has been recently installed at the end of Hollybridge Way by the Oval

The story said that the sculptures could “only be fabricated in China”

This statement is really concerning and now the question is “Why would city council approve the project?”

We’ve all heard the slogan “shop and support local businesses” and the same should apply when city council is making decisions such as approving this public art project and other projects

We should have projects made in Canada and if it can’t be made here then find another project that can be.

Thank you, Richmond News, for writing this article Change can only happen when the public is well informed so we can bring our concerns to Richmond city council.
