The litany of tax measures he talked about were things his own party called for. They go on and on about the CPP increase being a tax. If we throw enough mud at the wall some of it will stick.
By way of a reminder, it is an investment. We still do not know what the super RRSP rate of the Reform Party will be. Some say it will be 13% to 15%. How can they unfavourably compare that to 9% plus is beyond my comprehension.
I think they only have to look at their own program to understand that the government, in a very responsible, very people oriented and caring way, has implemented changes to the tax system which will lead to more fairness and the closing of loopholes.
At the end of the day it will lead to greater confidence by investors outside the country and investors domestically on what they should do to invest in the country. At the same time it will create more confidence among workers, seniors and everyone else in society who believes this is the best country in the world and it will remain so.
