Many are quick to refer to the Rae government as a reason never to vote NDP again
The NDP platform (Federally) is to increase tax on small business from 15% to 19.5% and to increase the taxable capital gains from 50% of the capital gain to 75%. It is their fundamental belief to increase taxes to pay for MORE social programs which the country just can't keep doing. The percentage of elderly in the country is going up meaning a bigger burden for those working and the NDP just wants to keep throwing "freebies" around. Free or low child-care, heavily subsidized education, expanded healthcare (drugs) and the list goes on and on and on.
They believe that it is government that can solve problem and is the answer to all problems and I believe the complete opposite. I think we should be dramatically reducing government, we don't need them in every single aspect of our lives.
The leader of the NDP doesn't matter, it is their basic belief in socialism that, at least for me, is the problem and why I and a lot of others will simply never vote for them.
