Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes"

Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes."



Quite the little tax cutter we have in Stephen Harper. Let's see the record:

raised income taxes in his first month in office

taxed income trusts in his first year despite his explicit promise not to, causing seniors and investors to lose millions and millions, including life savings

added a job killing payroll tax increase

added an air tax that Harper had promised to eliminate because it was "crippling the industry"

Harper Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, the one who said a GST cut was a pretty dumb idea, said he "would never presume to say never to a tax increase".

Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes."

All this from a guy who said he would never increase taxes. Is there anything Harper says that you can trust or believe?

Ignatieff press conference: he's ready, Harper's time is up

I have seen Ignatieff give a lot of press conferences before. I honestly don't think I've seen him sharper, more focused, and tougher on the message.

This to me sounds like a man who is fully geared up for battle, with a very sharp sword in his scabbard.
