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?

Harper: Fiscal Conservative or Debt Creator?

The "base" is getting restless.

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation has served as a farm team of sorts for the Conservatives through the years. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney once headed the organization, as did the Prime Minister's current head of communications, John Williamson.

But the federation has been distinctly unhappy with Harper's spending record of late and it has another kind of farm imagery on its mind. Here is its newly released video, which is billed as "light-hearted," even though I find it a bit scary (I think it's the glowing red eyes.)

Harper Raises Taxes, Part 2

Raising income taxes, taxing income trusts, increasing taxes through harmonized sales taxes, creating a carbon tax, and now... increasing the tax burden on businesses to pay off his record-shattering deficit.

Mr. Harper is indeed "The Taxman".

Harper Raises Taxes, Part 1

With Stephen Harper announcing that, despite many promises to the contrary, he will actually be raising taxes - and taxes on small businesses no less - grassroots Canadians have been quick to voice their thoughts on youtube.

Here's one entitled "Stephen Harper Imposes Largest Tax Increase in History". I'll be posting more.

The funny thing about his promise, of course, is that he raised income taxes the first month he was elected, raised taxes on income trusts despite an unequivocal promise thousands of seniors relied upon, pushes for harmonized sales taxes and has given us a carbon tax with his cap and trade plans.
