sure, but what if the realism is that our taxes are too low? I totally get that no one wants to pay more, but it seems like the Wildrose and their supporters are focused purely on cuts. We've seen that this is almost surely not going to get it done though; so why discount the increasing revenue side of the ledger?
I know that politically its a whole different mindset, but I'm hoping that the province makes economic decisions based on something other than ideology and rhetoric. I recognize fully that tomorrow is unlikely to result in that (as I noted above), but I still hope for this.
Oh, and btw one of you heroes in Ralph Klein increased spending by about 125% in his tenure. So while people point to him as some economic savant who could get things in line and make the tough calls it just wasn't the complete story.
