Harper/Flaherty kick investors (and pension fund-holders) in the gonads

November 4, 2006

Ah, another election promise is broken with the tax changes to income trusts.  I do feel sorry for the people who lost 20% of their money - a hard thing for older people who had taken Harper at his word.  On the other hand, he has harmed many of the very people who helped him get elected (they must feel betrayed).  Aside from the economics, it seems like a dumb political move.
