And if you want to get technical, cutting the GST makes your cheque go further. People in lower income brackets should actually feel the impact more, as more of your income goes to GST (comparatively speaking). Damn economics courses, I can't quite remember how that works, but even the calculations in the articles proved it. At 30,000 you may only get $200 more, compared to $1600 at $50,000, but the dude at $150,000 only gets an extra $2000 because of GST.
Also, there are textbook credits, transit credits, and you can get a larger bursary without them taking taxes from it now... all benefits for the student.

Wow, now my head is spinning.
I think the bottom line is:
I need a better job.
EDIT: Actually I need to read the article before commenting furher on it.
