Voting Right Wing

I just do not understand middle class people voting Republican / Tea Party, Conservative / Reform.

What do these parties promise? Lower taxes, family values, less regulation and government.

The Reform party bribed us with a lower GST rate with it dropping from seven per cent to five per cent. By a rough calculation, based on adding all expenses on which i think GST was collected, i saved about $500 per year. Wow.

At the same time they dropped the corporate tax rate and introduced a whole bunch of tax credits and deductions for businesses. Most of which are foreign owned and controlled. These tax reductions cost the Canadian government billions. No one in the middle class saw a penny of this. Meanwhile, services are being cut to afford the tax cuts.

A lot of these services are used by the poorer folk but some are used by the middle class.

So to recap, the dumb middle class conservative voter is pocketing $500 so that major corporations can save billions. The middle class conservative voter is also doing without many services previously supplied for free. Services like environmental protection, food inspection, health care funding, ... the list goes on and on.
