Harper’s Corporate Handouts
With a free pass from Stephane Dion’s vote-skipping Liberals, Stephen Harper is phasing in corporate tax cuts costing $50.5 Billion over six years. Clearly, they both agree that these corporate tax cuts are the best way to spend taxpayer’s money. And they’re both named Stephen. Coincidence?
Consider this: $50.5 Billion could help eliminate Canada’s $60-120 Billion “infrastructure deficit” – and fix failing roads, bridges, water mains, sewers, transit and more!
Fully phased in, Harper’s corporate tax cuts will keep costing Canada’s treasury $14.8 Billion every year.
Consider this: $14.8 Billion could sustain universal child care in Canada and fund up to 50,000 more long-term care spaces for seniors and help finance a national prescription drug plan!
I believe corporate tax cuts are not a priority for most people – but I guess average Canadians aren’t Harper’s priority.
Most Canadians want a government that will make smart investments for them and their families. More corporate tax cuts are not the answer.
