You
don't hear this too often........A provincial party leader actually
calling for taxes to be raised but that's what David Coon of the Green
Party is advocating.
He says
Provincial Health Minister Blaine Higgs only has two choices.....Raise
taxes or implement deeper cuts to health and education.
Coon
says income taxes are good and he is calling for the tax cuts instituted
by the previous Liberal government in 2009 to be rescinded because in
his words, they were reckless and left provincial coffers short of much
needed revenue.
He goes
on to say raising income taxes would mainly affect those people who
already enjoy luxuries and maybe mean one less trip south in the winter.
