N.S. Premier Darrell Dexter fighting for brownie points

November 14, 2009 · By Charles Anthony

Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter must think tax-payers are as stupid and arrogant as politicians:

“I can say that it was a bit of a surprise to me,” Dexter told CBC News on Friday. “I’ve never had any problem sharing the credit for undertakings by the government with the various levels.”

Most people are smarter than that. Most people know any “credit” belongs to the tax-payer and, regardless of what level of government exacts the money, there is only one tax-payer. Since politicians do not pay taxes in any honest or intelligent sense, it does not surprize me to learn the stupid complaint from Darrell Dexter.

    And the latest report to government regarding overcoming the deficit — raise taxes and cut programs.

    Nice. We’ll see how that goes down, Darrell.

Got something to say? (Read the rules first)
