One of the reasons that we have been led to these deficits is the Conservative cuts to the GST. With this in mind, Robert Smol's article on CBC.ca Why I should be paying more taxes proclaims a truth that many politicians do not want to face. Instead of lowering taxes, if anything they should be raised.
Simply a great article.

I think it was around 2000 or so, I got word from my kids school that arts and crafts would no longer be included in the JK- 4 curriculum, due to budget cuts. Then, the next day, I got a $75 dollar "rebate" from Mike Harris. What good was the $75 compared to encouraging creative children? I guess I was supposed to get two kids signed up for a year's worth of art classes with that $75. It was the stupidest thing ever,and yet that kind of short term save-a-nickel mentality continues. I too will happily pay more taxes to ensure a stronger society.
