Three Card Monte...

Monte Solberg tells Canadians to try and spot the card...
Canada could be the most prosperous nation in the world if we would just reduce key taxes, streamline spending, educate our people better, build better infrastructure and cut away uneccesary bureaucracy and red tape. And if we can become the most prosperous nation then we can afford to help those people who really are struggling. But you can't redistribute the income before you earn it.
But just like the hustle, you can't win at this game. How do we reduce "key" taxes (read: not for anyone who works) while improving education and investing in infrastructure? Answer: The taxes get cut, and education and infrastructure get squat. Just like what happened in Ontario.

And don't think that we can cut red tape and "waste" by anywhere near enough to offset tax cuts. It has never, ever happened.
