that would probably be the worst thing for our economy. I don't mind paying slightly higher taxes if it keeps our economy thriving. People shouldn't get hung up about a few dollars extra a paycheck. Go take an economics course. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

The government is there to provide roads, schools and hospitals and should tax enough to keep those sort of things running smoothly, they should not be taking money to put into things like the sponsorship scandal.

"...thanks to surging oil and gas revenues that have the province looking at a $4-billion surplus. "

Sure looks like oil/gas royalties had something to do with it.

Any which way, good for you Albertans.
