I have two brief points. Yes, I agree with what Mr. D'Amours said, but I started off by saying there's only one taxpayer. The question is how you maintain this craziness of reduced taxes. We all want social services on the European scale and taxes on the American scale, but that doesn't work.
One of the things we should be thinking about is replacing many of these programs with some sort of negative tax so that we can see that we're doing things fairly.
The other point is that, from the point of view of a fiscal conservative, one should understand that there's one taxpayer. While the federal taxes may be going down, the responsibilities for those same costs are now being borne by provincial and municipal governments.
