BC HST Rate Cut is Win-Win for Everyone
HST in BC is on the verge of elimination. News is Ottawa is already in talks with Victoria how to fold down HST and get the $1.7 billion back. That was the incentive Ottawa paid to Victoria for introducing HST.
Undoubtedly HST is good for both Businesses and Consumers. Businesses are immediately saving 7% PST with the introduction of HST. Unfortunately consumers have not been able to get the benefits of this savings due to the reluctance of many business owners to pass on the savings. The pricing change of products and services or the job creation due to HST has not taken effect as promised by the finance minister. Sure, it created a lot of anger among the consumers.

HST and Income Tax Causing Fall of Empires
History repeating again. Mighty rulers of empires have fallen many times over this.
Your subjects do not like to be taxed.
Yesterday, it was Obama, got a dose or reality. America’s infatuation over change has faced the new reality, that nothing changed for over two years.
Today it’s British Columbia. The Premier could not stop the tide of discontent of Province’s people by giving a soothing lecture last week and cutting income tax.
In BC, people do not like HST to being with, and more than that, how it was implemented and imposed on BC.
Simply put, it has blind sided every common people in BC.
There were no public input, no advance sign and no discussion about the benefits of HST on overall economy.
The Liberals have failed massively to get any support for HST.
The Premier in his resignation speech mentioned about personal attack, and the cause of stepping down as BC Premier.
Well, it was his personal decision to implement the HST as the way it got implemented.
He must take responsibility.
Cheers for the people of British Columbia. More power to you.
