Harper On GST

 

Harpernomics Says

“Reduce the GST by one point right away, to six percent. And we will reduce the GST by another point, to five percent, over five years. The GST affects everyone – families, seniors, and young people just getting started in life. Cutting the GST will help everyone deal with the rising cost of living, put money in people’s pockets, and spur the economy immediately.

The Reality Is...

A GST cut that virtually every economist says is a bad idea.
“Rarely has a major economic policy proposal in Canada been so universally condemned by knowledgeable people as the Tories' plan to cut the GST rate by two percentage points. This plan has been criticized by leading tax economists, editorialists and columnists.”
Financial Post, January 10, 2006
