I never proposed any of the things you said so not sure why you are bringing it up.
And Wildrosers like high employement and high incomes. It's part of the reason why Alberta averages among the highest per capita tax revenues even with a flat tax.
Don't forget, BC also spends considerably less than Alberta. We would have to cut 4 billion from our budget to even begin the comparison.
