The Liberals did all three. Hardly the manic corporate tax cutters you've fantasized.<br /><br />And just maybe the real problem with your idea that the Liberals ever proposed "endless" corporate tax cuts is that now they do want to end them. Kinda disproves your whole argument.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876442776701189706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-15980263750189557532011-01-29T14:23:56.171-05:002011-01-29T14:23:56.171-05:00So robot it is then.

I just wonder if this is a sincere policy change on their part or if its just something they are saying until after the election when they can go back to their pro-corporate tax cut nature.DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587165866597795302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-49209616165223605492011-01-29T12:22:29.007-05:002011-01-29T12:22:29.007-05:00Hey DL, howza bout living life in the today?

In fact when the coalition was negotiated in Nov. 2008 - one of the only things the Liberals draw a line in the sand on - was their absolute insistence that corporate tax cuts be locked in and extended.DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587165866597795302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-28445322057117344272011-01-29T09:07:55.175-05:002011-01-29T09:07:55.175-05:00Harper is incrementally whittling his support down...Harper is incrementally whittling his support down to his hard core base only. That certainly translates to a reduced minority and depending on any further gaffes, combined with their unwavering support for unpopular corporate tax cuts, perhaps (oh joy of joys) a loss of government. I have to think that this spring would be a very good time for the Liberals to go to the polls.Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058734544373976550noreply@blogger.com
