   Looks like Harpo and Flaherty are big NDP/socialist types keeping the big   
   government hype a going.   
      
   "A new $2,000 tax credit for each child younger than 18. The maximum benefit   
   under the plan will be $310 per child."   
      
   I guess single people will not be able to save money for a home so they can   
   have a family.  This is turning our people into a hive, where single workers   
   go out and bust their hump making the honey while the rest consume it.  I am   
   married, and will actually benefit from this but damn, it wasn't that long   
   ago I was single and my tax bill was higher than my mortgage+property   
   taxes+utilities.   
      
   Another pandering law.  And I bet most who get it don't realize it was their   
   money in the first place.   
      
   "A Working Income Tax Benefit of up to $500 a year per low-income individual   
   or $1,000 per family to help reduce the number of people using welfare."   
      
   That's is nothing, if you want people off of welfare, eliminate the welfare   
   system and provide $1000 moving credit to a place you can get a job.  Yep, a   
   job -- might be less spousal abuse too as they will not lay around with   
   nothing to do.   
      
   "Increased tax credits for Canadians whose spouses earn little or no income,   
   ending the so-called "marriage penalty."   
      
   What a cop out, every other nation has this and we get watered down   
   "credits".  I guess they were to scared and dishonest to say no income   
   splitting.   
      
   "One of Flaherty's chief proposals is an extra $1.5 billion for the upcoming   
   fiscal year aimed at correcting the so-called "fiscal imbalance" - the claim   
   that the provinces are not getting their fair share of the money Ottawa   
   collects."   
      
   MORE equalization!  WTF -- this is pay for screwing up.  Right after sending   
   Charanta a billion of so in civic welfare money!  There is no need for this.   
   Tell them to fix their issues and stop shirt tailing off of those that are   
   not screwing up.   
      
   Hey fellow Albertans, they are eying up your wealth.  And Harper is a closet   
   NDPer.  Time for a change, vote to get a party that represents workers, and   
   not as sheep for the fleecing.   
      
   My, Ottawa sure likes handing out OUR money.
