Conservative leader Andrew Scheer claims his campaign promise of tax
giveaways are “targeted specifically at taxpayers in the lowest-income
tax bracket.”
giveaways are “targeted specifically at taxpayers in the lowest-income
tax bracket.”
But it seems economists disagree.
According to Scheer, the Conservatives would cut taxes on income
under $47,630 from 15% to 13.75%, something he says will help families
that are “barely getting by.”
However, economists note that the biggest benefits of Scheer’s tax
giveaway would be families that earn over $250,000, while working
families would receive relatively insignificant savings.
