Can't say as I've ever been a card-carrying member of any political party (and the Green Party would probably be first on my list if I was), but I'm a little miffed that Harper would so blatantly break a such a clear promise, forced though his hand was over this income trust thing.

All we argued was that the public was getting stiffed for hundreds of milions of dollars. And we further argued that it was a great example of where lower taxes meant bigger private gain without producing positive social externalities. We will get back to you on the correlation between tax cuts and the rate of growth in investment and GDP growth. Stats can has very nice data going back to 74 which will give us three cycles to run the correlations on. Check our blog the results should be up in the next week or so.
