I am sorry Christy Clark, but cutting one or two per cent off the HST will do nothing to address the real flaws and injustices in the tax.
It would not address the fact that because labour used to be tax-exempt under the PST and used to be five per cent, seniors and other individuals who can no longer do those household jobs themselves now pay a whopping 12 per cent.
Even 10 per cent is still a 100-per-cent increase.
It will do absolutely nothing to solve the medical anomaly of paying 12 or 10 per cent on a health therapy and registered massage therapy which I use to control my fibromyalgia.
It would hardly make a dent in the more than $1,700 this tax gouge has cost me in less than a year.
The consequence of the HST is that I live on very rapidly diminishing fixed pension.
Am I to believe that my experience with the HST is just another anomaly?
Stop with the throwing good money after bad already.
