Raj was on QR one afternoon this week. Two main items he was pushing...
- Increase in personal taxes to those who make over 100K
- Increase taxes to all businesses

Those increased taxes are to fund programs, and aren't just willy nilly.
While I think that taxes should be increased don't assume that its for the same reasons. I just think that tax fairness should be considered for reasons I've already outlined.
I do agree that the social credit/alberta alliance/wildrose has supported increased savings. The point of divergence is that we can't get a handle on where this is coming from. We know that the GreenTrip grants would be slashed, but can only guess at the rest. Oh, and they would save $7 Million from the communications budget....so that should should sustain the increased spending for both health and education combined I suppose!
I do wonder though, between the grotesque image and slashing GreenTrip what the Wildrose has against buses? (I hope that doesn't need green text to recognize that I'm kidding....)
