I still say spending on tax credits is not really spending. And because of this, I want to thank the Minister of Finance for his budget because it DID drop my tax burden.<\/p>\n
The new $2,000 child tax credit will help my family with $310 more for Cookie and $310 more for T-Bone, my two children. The end of the marriage penalty will help my family with $209 more dollars for TBH, my wife.<\/p>\n
Thank you Mr. Flaherty for giving me back $829 every year. This may not seem like much to some people out there, but it’s a month’s groceries to me. It’s the cost of the registration fees for my children’s sports. It’s the cost of two out of town trips when my kids compete in a sport that they excel at. It’s two or three monthly car payments. It’s 14 or 15 gas tank fill ups. It’s the cost of that new computer for my kids. If you’re Scott Reid or John Duffy, it’s 20 cases of beer or 1000 bags of microwave popcorn.<\/p>\n
But more than anything, it is just plain appreciated.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
