If people honestly think that higher taxes will narrow the wealth gap, they are foolish.

That depends on who the higher taxes are applied to.

Ed Broadbent, the former leader of the New Democratic Party, creates a "think tank" and we're surprised that it's poll results of 2000 phone respondants favour tax increases to narrow the wealth gap.

Sheeesh! I would have been very surprised to hear it had found ANY OTHER ANSWER to a bunch of 'carefully crafted' poll questions postulated by pollsters paid for by a left leaning "think tank".

They probably didn't inform the respondants that when talking about increasing the tax on the rich they were referring to folks earning over $42K.

And just who is it that makes this grand announcement of the poll's results by his very own think tank, why Eddy boy himself of course!

There's a reason why the Conservatives have won two back to back elections, care to guess what it is?
