Canadian youth have the most at stake _

Even lie our children
‘Decome adults, we often continue
to.sce them as children — until
they do something to shock us
into reality,

Jason Ford, a 20-year-old uni-
versity biology student, was out
to shock his audience of people
his parents’ age and older. As co-
chairman of the second Debt
Freedom Conference and
Spokesman for the Youth Alliance
for Debt Freedom, he wamed that
today's adults are living beyond
their means,

‘ Tomorrow’s adults — today’s
young people — will pay the price,
Ford said. And he called parents
hypocrites for not practising what
eet teach their children.

:,.“‘Imagine a country with Be

distinct classes of citizens,” he
told about 100 people at the con-
ference, organized by Tory MP
Garth Turner, former business
journalist and author,

“The first class has the vote

and, through the government it
controls, has instituted a number
of tax-funded social programs and
income redistributions — health
care,

a standard of living envied the
world over,

“All these programs and the
inevitable bureaucracy which
runs them are very expensive —
but fortunately for this first class
of citizens — today’s adults — they
don't actually have to pay for
them,”

The secret? Borrowing — “They
borrow for what they want and
then borrow more money to pay
the interest on the money they
borrowed in the first place,” said
Ford.

The second class of citizens
doesn't have the vote, he contin-
ued, and so cannot affect the gov-
emment'’ 's spending,

welfare — which allow it to have

citizens } + today” 's youth — will.

have to foot the bill for the over-
spending of the first class,” he

“Their standard of living will
suffer so the first class may live

lives they could not otherwise:

afford,"
« The only way government can
Pay back what it owes is to take
that money from its citizens
through taxes, Ford said.

“My generation will be forced
to pay for the fiscal responsibili-
tics of the generations before us,”
he said.

“My generation is like a child
who, on reaching the age of
majority and deciding to strike
, out on his own, is suddenly given
the bill for his parents" mortgage.

“The youth of this country

So, you've been had'by a scam eh?

i. Telemarketing scams. They
happen all year long but it seems
in the last few months there has
been a rush of them. Some com-
panies ask for the make and
model of fax or copier on the pre-
tense of doing research. Several
days or weeks later another caller
asks to verify an address and pur-
chase number. Shortly after, your
unordered fax or photocopy paper
arrives. Other scams offer you
guaranteed items or trips. We
know we have to be aware of
them, and we've read enough
horror stories about them. So
why do we still get caught by
telemarketers?

Ford said that children are told

Michael Walker, “executive
director of the Fraser Institute,
held out little hope for cutbacks in
government spending, “We don’t
want to do anything about the
debt because of all the govern-
ment benefits we receive,” he
said.

Recent research conducted’ by
the Fraser Institute shows that
families with incomes under
about $45,000 receive more in
benefits than they pay in taxes.
And even those above $45,000
don’t want spending cut on edu-

cation, culture, recreation and
health care “because they are
often the major beneficiaries of
those spending programs.”

‘Walker said cutting back would
be a real challenge “because the
system of taxing one group to pay
another has become so interwo-
ven and complex.”

Justice Minister Kim Campbell
agreed “it’s very difficult to tum
around expectations that we can
have our cake and eat it, oe

face
inertia from business and the pat
lic” on cutting back spending and
benefit programs,

Finance Minister Don
Mazankowski said virtually all of
the increased debt since the
Tories came to power can be

interest on the debt inherited from
the Liberal government.
