At any rate, my beef with the sales tax idea in this case revolves around how transparent a liar Jim Prentice is. He says he doesn't support one? Bullcrap. He wouldn't be bringing it up if he didn't. The PCs have raised this boogeyman repeatedly over the last few years not to gauge support for the idea, but to gauge how tired people have become of the "discussion". The PCs know that introducing a sales tax is politically dangerous, but they are trying to wear people down into a sense of inevitability so as to minimize that political fall out.
Honestly, crap or get off the pot. If you want to introduce a sales tax, or bring back variable tax rates or re-introduce health care premiums because you spent yourself into a massive hole, then have the god damned courage to do it and live with the consequences.

So what would you support? I think that you're against a consumption tax, and probably against raising taxes?
