Taxes, Taxes, Taxes

So the Alward government has resorted to increased taxes again to help slow the flow of red ink. It was bad enough the wealthy in this province had been singled out to be punished, now every person in the province working person in the province will be required to pay more for the bureaucratic / crony capitalist empire that we call the New Brunswick government.

Are spending cuts not on the table at all? Is there anybody in government who realizes we cannot tax and spend our way to prosperity? Are there any conservatives in government?

This is very disheartening to say the least.

The government will hide behind the line that the tax cut had not been implemented yet, but announcing the hike during the Christmas season shows that higher taxes, more spending and runaway bureaucracy and regulation is the plan to grow our economy.

Some plan.
