Of thugs, CEOs and tax increases

But here's the thing. If the TD Bank (and the majority of the 150 CEO of the CCCE) can call for tax increases on high income individuals (Clark did not seem to be targeting his own sector), why are the labour movement, the NDP and civil society groups so reluctant to do so?Very good question Mr. Dobbin, very good question. I'll spare the NDP, since I don't recall anyone campaigning on tax increases, but other sectors like Labour need to prepare the ground so that when tax increases do come, Canadians will understand why they are necessary. Maybe getting out of Afghanistan will create some cool budget space as well...
