Our Taxes

Our taxes in the famous "13 years" before Mr. H. used to go to paying down the debt incurred by the Conservatives, programs for the less fortunate, legal institutions that protected the citizen from excesses of the state, the equality of women, institutions that ensured democracy, arts and culture, fairness to the First Nations people whose land we illegally claimed as ours, the health and well-being of all our citizens (care when we are at our most vulnerable) and it was just starting to be used for the most precious part of our society, our children. As poll after poll showed we as Canadians never regretted paying our taxes for these purposes.

Then along came Mr. H. Now our taxes, which went up, are going to warfare, undermining our democratic institutions, pitting one part of the country against the other, and vote buying (and don't forget paying thug-like types to spy on the opposition). I am so disgusted words fail me.

You can be very sure that come the next election there will be many very active citizens.
