Default Tax cuts - good or bad?

The Finance Minister said that there will be possible tax cuts in order to stimulate Canadians to spend more. Do you think this is good or bad? Do you think tax cuts will stimulate people to spend or this will result in poor public services?

Tax cuts are good as long as the public services are not affected.

With more tax cuts the roads and all other public services will suffer. Do you see the conditions our roads are in - particularly in Toronto? The snow removal is so bad... I wonder what will happen with more tax cuts - no snow removal for you - shovel it yourself. I don't think tax cuts are a good idea at all.

Tax cuts are good, small government is good, free market is good. Unfortunately we don't have these, and I'm not getting my hopes high either.

Of course tax cuts are good. Canadians and Canadian businesses are over-taxed and we can use some tax relieve right away.

They should cut sales taxes to stimulate consumption. As soon as the Canadian consumers become more confident and start to spend again, we'll see a quick economic recovery.
