The personal income tax cut is better than the GST cut. Of course, I would love both! But, in order for me to enjoy the GST cut, I have to spend money. And I prefer to be a saver. I read an article in the Globe a little while back and they said that the government could not afford both tax cuts. So who knows. We will have to wait and see. I agree with CC.

I do agree that I would take any tax cut rather than none at all. The income tax cut is already in the books (introduced as part of the fiscal update) and Mr. Harper wants to scrap those cuts and introduce a 1% cut to the GST. While a GST cut benefits all Canadians, in dollars and cents, the income tax cuts are better for most Canadians. Now, if we could have both the tax cuts, I'd quit complaining :) Homer: Thanks for your comments. I do agree that I would take any tax cut rather than none at all.

As any REAL capital knows, ANY tax cut is a good tax cut. There is no such thing as a BAD tax cut. In reality, an income tax cut is a NOT going to happen in a minority government. Writing a letter to a Fiberal MP is a waste of your time. A GST tax cut is the only tax cut that truly benefits all Canadians at all income levels. Wake up!

I wonder if I'll get a response? So….., I’ve picked up the gauntlet, and used the content of this blog to write my MP (Tory) to vote to reduce income taxes rather than the GST.

It might save me, oh maybe $150 a year, but it will end up costing the gov't billions of dollars that could be used to balance the books.
