That is a difficult question, Mr. Speaker. I will just briefly point to history as evidence that tax relief produces more jobs.
In 1962 when John Kennedy dramatically cut marginal rates, employment and disposable income skyrocketed. When Ronald Reagan did it in the early 1980s, revenues skyrocketed as did real incomes. When Mike Harris did it in the last two years in Ontario, revenues grew faster. When Bob Rae and the Liberal Government of Ontario raised tax rates, revenues went down. When Mike Harris cut tax rates revenues went and with them came tens of thousands of new jobs.
