Harper the tax cutter did it again and cut more taxes. By just cutting 1% of GST, the government will lose around 6 billion dollars a year, and who will benefit, only the rich who are conspicuous consumers, not the poor that only buy food and some very low price items.
Instead of cutting the GST, why doesn't he invest the money into health care, education, housing and other social programs? Are all Canadians so well off that they don't need any of these social programs? How about the crumbling infrastructure of this country, and cities like Toronto that are on the brink of bankruptcy and can't even run their libraries and community centres and public transport? Who is paying for this tax cut? Certainly not the rich, but the poor who have to pay more for the transport tickets, day care, health care, their children's university education, etc. How about freezing the madly rising university tuition fees Mr. Harper??? Or a National Medicare or dental care program???
On the other hands the corporations are rewarded generously with huge tax cuts, really this is a government of corporate welfare, not people's welfare.
And of course, the idiots that can be bribed with a 1% GST tax cut are going to vote for him again, happily pocketing a few dollars more, and losing hundreds and thousands of dollars in healthcare and education for themselves and their families.
