The difference is the Conservatives made the gst reduction part of their platform before Martin dropped income tax rate, not after.

This hardly counter jdobbin's point. Martin & Co. announced the reduction in Nov 2005. Never during the campaign did the Conservatives indicate that they were going to raise income taxes to pay for the GST reduction.

And it certainly applies to you as well, a college student who likes to whine about conservatives. What's this, you don't think there are accountants on both sides of the issue? (and economists and business owners and part time college students) Stay in school.

Moi? In school?

er no. But thats okay, maybe the sig line threw you off. Ask your buddy about that one. But I doubt a honest explaination will be offered.

Whine about conservatives , sorry not me, they do their own whining.

But I suppose if you stopped whining you would see the point. Berate someone for posting what they think, you counter your explaination then castigate the first since "they would not be privy " to the info.

Ok thanks

Cheers

Sorry, but you're wrong:

Harper, the Conservative leader, was forced to explain his plan to reverse Liberal personal income tax cuts that took effect Jan. 1 after it was revealed in a TV report Friday.

But he made no apologies, saying the move is part of a broad tax plan that would substantially reduce taxes for everyone.

"We have a tax-reduction plan, the Liberals have a tax-reduction plan," Harper said during a campaign stop in New Hamburg, Ont., to roll out a tax promise involving charities.

"We'll be doing our plan, not their plan."

The Liberal government increased the basic personal exemption by $500 in last November's fiscal update, and trimmed the tax rate at the bottom income bracket to 15 per cent from 16 per cent.

The Conservatives say they would allow Canadians to get their rebate for 2005 before raising the rate on the lowest tax bracket back to 16 per cent in their first budget and reducing the basic personal exemption by $400.
