Politics trumps reason every time.

They're likely correct. Give it a year or 2 and we'll know for sure.

" Other tax increases would also be acceptable to Mr. Ulansky. "I'd be willing to pay a little more on my income tax" and even a boost in corporate taxes might be palatable for the short term, he said."

Ok, so we will boost corporate taxes a little and go from there...

I say it every time, and I'll say it again. Tax imports from China more, we don't need 95% of the crap we buy from China.

Trade war with China. Good idea.

I don't think it can be a war when we do everything we can to aid and abet the enemy. More like they're fucking us and our leaders are squealing with delight.

Absolutely - raise taxes in a progressive fashion, and eliminate all those regressive taxes/fees like medicare premiums instead.

BC taxes will be raised, remember? HST?

That's a regressive tax. But Economists tell is its a good one, and I guess I can buy into the argument that consumption taxes are a good thing. But then Campbell should have lowered or eliminated taxes on low income to compensate - raise the minimum deduction much higher than he did.

I dont care what tax it is. It comes out of my pocket, and I dont like it one bit. Get the big companies and the big money-making CEO's with half a million $ in bonusses every year, instead of the hard working middle and lower class.

See what I posted above - that is exactly what I was saying.

No need to blush, lots of people see it that way. Just not enough in the voting booth.
