They say taxes are too high. We should say there are more important things to tackle right now than reducing taxes for rich people.
They say they'll give everyone some of their money back. We should say paying for tax cuts by running deficits is theft from our children.
They say it's time to sell off and privatize schools, hospitals and public services. We should say there are some important things best done together – like good public education for our kids and good health care no matter how big your wallet is.
They say it’s “time to stop the gravy train.” We should say good idea! Let's stop the gravy train – starting with the insiders, rich tax cheats, speculators, and all the other geniuses who wrecked the world economy and put millions out of work, while pocketing the bailout money.
It's time to fight fire with fire. Come out swinging, and keep swinging. I find it amazing that it was a Liberal government that brought Canada's systemic deficit under control in the 1990s - after two terms of Mulroney's government spending us into debt; and today we have a Conservative government again ... spending us into debt. Meanwhile the Con$ are the ones who call the Liberals the 'tax and spend party' ... is anybody else noticing the irony here?

I wish Ignatieff had the fire in the belly that Jean Chrétien had. If we had Chrétien in his prime as leader right now, he's have Harper for lunch. Alas, we haven't had a leader like that since, and Ignatieff so far hasn't shown he has the strength we need either. And I hoped he might.
