For anyone not keeping up, BC is about to have a election in 2 months. The current opposition party/previous incumbent party is currently polled to be almost completely wiped out in the election by the BC Cons. so this seems like a go for broke maneuver.
A B.C. United government would eliminate the provincial income tax on the first $50,000 earned by every British Columbian, Leader Kevin Falcon announced Tuesday.
The move would save British Columbians an average of $2,050 a year each at a time when people are struggling to afford the rising cost of living, Falcon said.
The tax cut would cost the province $5.4 billion in tax revenue, B.C. United says.
Why on earth would we believe the Liberals this time just because they changed their name?
I still remember when they got voted in on a platform that included rejecting the HST… only to have them implement the HST without telling anyone.
And like was already mentioned… I WANT public healthcare, a functional road network, resource management that will still have resources to manage in a decade, and all the other things my tax dollars pay for. Income tax is already stratified and based on a percent of income in the tax bracket. Since we’re going to have to start footing a bigger bill each year to deal with global warming (wildfires, floods, slides, water shortages, electricity shortages, vanishing glaciers, migrating wildlife, viral outbreaks), I’d like there to be enough money flowing in to handle all that.
