The contradiction of being Flaherty

Less than two weeks after we learn the Canada Revenue Agency gave a former PM a 50% break, on taxes not paid, on cash income not claimed, to the tune of $62,500 comes the statement by our inimitable FinMin that, "The tax laws apply to us all equally."  Well. la-de-da, ain't you consistent.

What is good enough for a former Con PM is too good for average Joes who are getting stung big time with tax bill on income they never received.  These include Canadians now on pensions who were caught up the burst high tech bubble who exercised stock options.  Some of these Canadians owe tens of thousands of dollars to which Flaherty says, tough noogies.

This Con government is heartless in its view of Canadians, unless you, of course, vote for them or lead their party.

There must be a compromise here to keep these citizens from selling their homes or having to declare bankruptcy.  Find it Jim, cause I know that Micheal can.
