Alberta Conservatives testing the water on tax increases.

The Alberta PC's are running in to all kinds of financial problems, what can be expected when spending is clipping along at 59% more than it was in 2005. Remember the promises during the election about balanced budgets based on $99 a barrel oil, which the opposition and all the experts stated was unrealistic. Well guess what folks we were told what the politicians wanted us to believe and we lapped it up.
Over the last week you have seen some fairly high level government officials talking about the possibility of tax increases, this is what the politicians call a "trial balloon" if the public reacts strongly the leader can come out and deny tax increases if the public does not react we all know full well what will happen.

Below is the link to contact the Premier and voice your opinions on tax increases
