   Sure ended up being a tax grab by Ottawa.  Have to feed the aristocratic   
   academic bullshit machine.   
      
   I actually agree with the GST *IF* they totally eliminate personal   
   income tax.  But that isn't what happened, it was an incremental tax.   
      
   But the real problem stems from Ottawa, they have never tightened their   
   belt and are 30 years overdue on a major house cleaning to reduce waste   
   and debt-spending.  Long overdue.
