Stop The Liberals From Sucking Another 7% Of BC’s Life Force
The BC Liberals have created a poor province through the reckless mismanagement of OUR previous tax dollars 
– and now they want more. You don’t need to be a psychic to see where our financial future is headed – and I don’t want to find out what other even more desperate liberties they will take when they have mismanaged all of the money they get from the HST heist.
On my storage unit alone I am paying an additional $88 per year and that’s just a start – and that’s only on $105.00/month outlay. Do the Liberals seriously think that a paltry $120 per year extra is going make a dent in compensating for my outrageous new monetary outlay – or anyone else’s?
Here is a list of items and services that were previously PST exempt and we now pay an additional 7% on. Where are you losing your 7% dollar force?
