Pissed off Taxpayer rattles Ottawa Cages.

E-mail Sent Today to Federal Politicians:

I sent a message to each of you expecting some comment on whether the GST being applied to B.C.'s new Carbon Tax which will net the Feds a cool $30 million extra each year was fair.

I expected that those who were opposed would state a desire to take it off these environmental measures.

Since none of you bothered to reply I take it that this tax on a tax is ok with you and it will continue to be assessed to these new Carbon Taxes.

Furthermore I would gather from your silence that if the Liberals manage to form Government and introduce a federal Carbon Tax that this too would be subject to the 5% GST.

Thank you in advance for your reply to this pissed off taxpayer. The only comfort to you is that My Provincial MLA has also not replied but the Premier of B.C. at least replied that he had forwarded my request onto his Minister of Finance for a directed reply. (Still waiting for reply!)

Revenue Neutrality when you add a tax on a tax may proved an elusive promise to keep.
