The increased taxes don't piss me off. What pisses me off is that they don't accomplish anything - we're still running a ridiculous deficit. They basically made so many half-measures and compromises that they are making everyone mad.
Do a real tax increase. Do real cuts in the public sector. Cut services and programs that we can't afford. Get us back to a surplus, and I'll feel like I'm sharing the pain to help Alberta get through a rough time. Right now, I just feel like I'm being taxed more for the sake of it, and that it really isn't accomplishing anything at all.
