I get that you are of the mind that the government has a responsibility to take your money and give it to those that "need" it, but there are those of us that would rather the government not do that and then we can give back by donating our time and money ourselves.

Actually you don't even have to go there. All the promises for senoirs are essentially taking from working people. 5% of senoirs are below the poverty line while 10% of working people aged 35-49 are below. So in reality it's not even redistributing wealth correctly. It just has better optics picturing older people as needing money and support vs. people who look young. Another reason why this NDP campaign is running on emotion and not on reason. It's really easy to start hammering on people who want taxes low and a good business climate as being 'greedy', but in reality it's just people who acknowledge that eocnomically the country is better off when private investment is driving job growth.
