It's very simple; NO politician, conservative or liberal has
the guts anymore to cut programs. Because of that your choices
are simple; Cut taxes and run higher deficits, or leave taxes
in-place in the hopes that they cover some of the program costs
and keep deficits down, a bit. However, I would like to be given
a choice (Ontario-Canada taxes on gasline sales represent about
40% of the price) as to WHERE the money goes.
