Ontario taxpayers got hit again yesterday with an evil, wanton attack on their wallets. The Liberals are right about those bastards in the Conservative party: they rob from the middle class and give to the entrenched interest groups. By eliminating health care coverage for eye exams, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care, they're demonstrating that their filthy capitalist "USA-style", pay-as-you-go vision means higher costs for many Ontarians. By introducing a higher deductable for health costs, they're showing that they don't care about sticking it to low- and middle-income families.
Higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol are pretty much standards in every budget, but the 50% increase in the fee to renew a driver's license is about as non-progressive as you can get.
We shouldn't stand for this! Ernie Eves must go! . . .
What's that? He's already gone? Oh. Well this must be the work of that eeevil born-again evangelist capitalist Stephen Harper, who's the head of the . . . federal . . . Conservatives. Oh.
Who's to blame, then? The Liberals? That can't be — they swore during the election campaign to balance the budget without raising taxes or cutting healthcare. They'd never have lied to us, would they?
Would they?
