NDP Style, "Tax to the Max"

It's interesting to see that the political left in British Columbia are out attacking the BC Liberal’s plan to deal with climate change. They have even come out with a cute little slogan called “Axe the Gas Tax”. While the slogan has a nice ring to it, the issue highlights once again the NDP’s complete lack of ideas to deal with an issue.

NDP Leader Carole James is slamming Gordon Campbell and the BC Liberals saying, “the gas tax only hurts consumers who are already suffering”. James adds, "instead of taxing consumers, the government should target major industrial producers such as the gas, oil, cement and aluminum industries".

Isn’t that a nice idea; just make someone else pay. What a great idea!

We’ll just make someone else pay. However making industrial producers pay more will only raise costs to business, and you can be sure that those costs will be passed on to you and me, the consumers.

The NDP's framework on climate action says, “Climate change is the biggest issue facing our generation and every one needs to be part of the solution”. For your information that's what the carbon tax is meant to do, make everyone part of the solution.

So the question is; are the NDP just stupid or are they just dishonest?
