•They must teach spin at business school. Today for example we have eminent academics saying the GST should be applied to food and some other services in the name of efficiency. Of course extending the tax would get the government another $8 billion which it is now “losing out on.” Don’t you love it? The government has got to get busty and tax groceries because somebody is getting away with something. Best spin this week. Of course the government is “losing out” on that money. That’s how it was planned. Here’s news, The government is also “losing out”” on the fresh air tax, the let’s take a sail on the lake tax and the what were you two doing until 3 am. tax. Three are millions of taxes the government could apply but doesn’t. .It isn’t incompetence. One of the sages pronouncing on the GST is Jack Mintz. He says other countries are more efficient in collecting taxes. Really. Nice for them. How do they spend the money? Stupidly? There’s seems a good chance.
