Taxes and tax cuts

Who will benefit from the GST cut?

Imagine a tax cut that you only get when you buy stuff. The more you spend, the more you get from the tax cut.

Skill testing question: who would benefit more from this tax cut, the poor or the rich?

Well, the rich buy more stuff than the poor. So affluent people will
get more cash from this tax cut then low income people will.

You now understand what is wrong with the Conservatives' plan to cut the GST.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
