WRITER HOPES FOR CHANCE TO VOTE AGAINST HST
Posted on 23 March 2010 by admin
Editor:
Any thinking person can see that the opinion expressed by the minority of persons supporting this tax seems to be by those who obviously can afford to pay an extra seven-per-cent tax on almost everything including services.
Being a senior on a fixed income puts me in a far different position and will stop me from spending money on things which are going to end up costing me more money.
For someone to say that this tax is “revenue neutral” and not going to cost me any more money is ridiculous!
The last time I looked Canada was a democracy, so I certainly hope that we get an opportunity to have a vote this time in whether or not we have to pay yet another tax.
Surely this is the time to tell government that we have had enough!

If the HST is cancelled then the BC government will need to increase our provincial income tax . . . be careful what you wish for.
If Campbell can give himself and his cronies a 29% raise for doing such a lousy job, he can pay the money that we are supposedly short from the same account he got that from, can’t he?
I say off with his head, cambell and his cronnies are crooks and nothing better than the low life tax collector, sort of like the Movie Robin Hood, and the Sheriff of Nothingham, if you don’t pay we will punish,they are not interested in what the people of the province want, only interest in feeding their faces in the trough, I say off with their heads.
