Can you explain what you mean when you say they don't need any more revenue?

From the very first line..

In the paper he suggests lowering income tax while implemeting a sales tax instead...thats what tax reform means in this case. Both or niether.
Im fine with PST only IF all other taxes are lowered accordingly.
In the broad sense it doesnt matter a whole lot where the revenue comes from, just that they have what they need already. Governments of every stripe are loathe to give back tax money they already collect, and that is standard across the board. So unless they lower some income tax rates and some other "hidden" taxes, i say no way should they increase/add taxes even more than they have,
