&quot;As the economy and how best to manage it continued to dominate the federal election campaign, Duceppe took direct aim at Prime Minister Stephen Harper&#039;s argument that his government&#039;s decision to reduce taxes such as the 2 per cent cut to the goods and services tax will help Canada&#039;s economy ride out the economic downturn that has hit the U.S and sent world markets into turmoil.&quot;

&quot;Duceppe said most Canadians actually benefit very little from the cut to the GST because much of their budgets go to things like food and housing that have no sales tax.&quot;

Very true.

&quot;For a parent who earns $32,000 - which was the average revenue in Quebec in 2006 - the income tax savings are zero, not a cent. For someone who earns $250,000, the tax savings are $7,800.&quot;

&quot;The middle class, my eye. The Conservative ideology consists of enriching the rich. A society where the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer, we don&#039;t want that in Quebec.&quot;
---------------

In my riding its between the PQ and the Conservatives. The NDP are too far behind in the polls.

So its a lose-lose situation in mch of Quebec since the above is the scenerio most every here.

Vote PQ to keep the Cons out, or vote for Cons.

I&#039;ll vote to keep the Cons out by voting PQ. No choice.</description>
