Almost every time a tax is lowered, they make up for it somewhere else. When the GST was brought in, it was basically shifting revenue from a corporate tax to one that the common person would be paying.
If the average person wants their own personal taxes lightened, it will likely mean having to move the tax revenue uphill.... which is very hard to do since rich people tend to be the ones that are more prepared to lobby government (or make up the government).
