Dear Gordon:
Former Alberta New Democratic Leader Brian Mason, MLA has always been concerned about the plight of the working family & in making sure that Albertans of all socioeconomic standards get a fair deal! A true asset as a person to the Assembly Chamber. Here he chats about how a proposed provincial sales tax or PST would be horrible for working families already on tighter budgets!
"I don't like the idea. I don't think its fair to middle class & lower income families. Its a consumption tax & so hits those families harder, for example, then really wealthy families."
Alta. Legislative Assembly Fifty-Two,
Rory

Just as a five per cent cut in pay would be a lot less tough on individuals who are paid $100,000-plus per year, than it would be on those who are making, say, $40,000. I'm sure Brian would agree.
