Tories hint at tax cuts for those earning under $80,000

Article


The latest leak in what has become a famously leaky budget process suggests the Conservative government plans to announce tax cuts for people with incomes under $80,000 a year.

"We've had a lot of information trickle out of the last couple of days," the CBC's Margo McDiarmid


Slander. They're not "leaking" , they're announcing. Leaking implies they're doing something sneaky and behind peoples backs. these guys are standing right out there and passing it out with no attempt to hide who's doing it.


Such moves could lead to a showdown with the opposition Liberals, whose leader, Michael Ignatieff, argues that broad-based, permanent cuts are a bad idea at this time.

"Some targeted tax measures to help the most vulnerable, I could support," Ignatieff told CBC News on Tuesday. "But if this then gives us a huge deficit problem which will take a decade to fix, that's not a good trade-off for Canadians, and they'll be concerned about it, as I am."


And the liberals shoot themselves in the foot. NO ! DON'T LOWER TAXES ! WE NEED TO GIVE IT TO OUR FRIENDS IN BIG BUSINESS !!! OR MAYBE JUST CAUSE IT TO GO MISSING LIKE PRIME MINISTER MARTIN DID TO 100 MILLION TAX PAYERS DOLLARS THAT ARE TO THIS DAY STILL MISSING !

This constant step on the little guy attitude of the liberals , no matter who is in power, is going to get them turfed from politics entirely. It ranks right up there with the USA's health care system. It's too expensive to treat you so you need to go over there in the corner out of our sight and just die and quit costing us money. This is the attitude of the liberals, and I think they need to stop it.
