It is time to stop raising income taxes across the board

Great article in the Toronto Sun.  Canadian’s with incomes in the top 20% of the population pay a far higher percentage of their income towards taxes than the rest of the population. All this does is encourage those who can to leave and bring their productivity to other countries thus increasingly pushing the tax burden down to the middle class.  The attitude that the “rich can always pay a little more” or “we want fairness”  is politically cowardly that ignores the economic facts but plays to the common misguided narrative.  It is time to stop raising income taxes across the board and start increasing the most progressive and fairest tax there is:  the HST.  Many tax and economic think tanks have already come to this conclusion
