Letter: Liberal tax initiatives disappointing to writer

Editor: “No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent” — Abraham Lincoln.

Many of us received Mark Warawa’s (MP Langley-Aldergrove) tax guide this week, which was full of useful information for helping individuals and families take of advantage of tax initiatives available to Canadians.

I was surprised to discover three areas in which the new Liberal federal government has decreased tax savings for Canadian families: Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) — annual contribution limit will be reduced from $10,000 per year to $5,500 per year; Family Tax Cut will be repealed; Universal Child Care Benefit will be repealed.

I am disappointed in these initiatives of the Liberal government, which only serve to lessen the ability of individuals and families to support themselves with their hard-earned income.

Does Mr. Trudeau think we consented to that?
