HST

On July 1st, 2010, The McGuinty Liberal Government introduced the HST tax, which puts an additional 8% tax on many consumer items such as:

    - Gasoline
    - Hydro
    - Natural Gas

This is a tax on the middle class and the poor. It is hurting the Ontario economy. We are paying  a significantly larger percentage of our after tax income through this levy.

McGuinty is claiming that he is softening the introduction of the HST with rebate cheques of $1000 ($300 only if you are single & qualify). Our math shows that this will only dampen the first $12,500 ($1000/0.08) of expenses ($3750 for singles).

Any expenses above that level are an 8% bonus revenue for the provincial coffers. His cheques will help only those who qualify for rebates (check the rules below). This clearly another McGuinty spin that does not hold water.
