The gospel according to Martin: no flat tax
Article Abstract:
Paul Martin's budget proposal for fiscal 1006-97 will not include a flat income tax, and will retain the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Martin sees the various flat tax schemes as unduly regressive. Martin's budget is likely to include spending cuts that will be unpopular in Quebec.
