Fiscally Responsible, Comfortably Numb

Jim Flaherty has made an announcement in Markham this morning stating that the new government will reduce taxes 'overall' for Canadians.

Overall? Does he mean the GST or more? Some of the media are picking up on this point and running a mile with it speculating that not only will the Tories cut the GST, but they will focus on a slice of the personal income tax level off the top.

The Tories need to find all the hidden treasure in the halls of the hill before making too many promises, and hopefully they have found the box of Martin's millions buried under the east block.

This country is in need of a tax break that can be felt in more than just pocket change. Grab the map and keep looking guys!
