Ultimately though, the increases are disproportionately heavy toward the middle class, and that is why the outrage exists.

At the end of the day I really don't care. I am so jaded about provincial politics at this point its all meaningless. I plan on not being involved in this provincial campaign all together although I will go vote for someone.
I just don't think that the tax hike even hits $2500 for more than a small amount of the population, never mind that being a true average. It's just irritating to see these things so badly averaged so that partisans can claim outrage. Where is the outrage? Other than people who want people to be outraged no one seems to really care.
The poll is interesting. People are all set to vote Wildrose because they're upset about the budget. Then the split outs for the sections of the budget are that people don't want to pay more taxes and ant corporate taxes increased. Will the Wildrose even do that though? There seems to be a huge discrepancy there between what people want the government to do and what the party they're selecting will actually do.
