That should help 'repair' the economy.
Lesson one in the dictionary of socialism: Money in the global economy is liquid. It seeks out the places that offer the best possible return for the least amount of hassel. If it finds your laws or tax system too onerous or simply just relatively less competative with another jurisdiction, it will leave and render your proposed tax hike counter-productive. Synonym: 'Law of unintended consequences', also see: Mike Harcourt, Bob Rae, Glen Clark, Lorne Calvert, Ed Stelmach, Hugo Chavez, Pierre Trudeau, Dalton McGuinty, . . .
