The Conservative $1200 per child per year wealth redistribution plan is an absolute travesty and a blatant attempt to buy votes. My parents are close friends with a doctor who has two young children. He makes >$300k per year, yet he's receiving $2,400 from the government that he absolutely doesn't need. I know for a fact that one year he put the money away each month and bought a new HDTV with it at Christmas thanks to the generosity of the Canadian taxpayers.
If the NDP had proposed the exact same policy, CPC supporters would be crying bloody murder over an obvious socialist wealth redistribution scheme, but because Harperbucks came from the party you support, you'll overlook the many flaws of the program.

Wealth redistribution? That money is going to rich and poor alike. I don't call that wealth re-distribution at all. Nice try though.
