He just can't stand the fact that the NDP were the only party that handled this crisis well. Layton (love him or hate him) was the only one of the four leaders that comes out of all of this looking level-headed and willing to compromise to keep the country moving forward (rather than forcing us to spend 250million or so on yet another election that will most like not change things all that much).
Tax cuts are just as expensive as the spending that will be done instead.
On one side you have a Corporate Tax cut that will remove a strand of revenue from the coffers BUT could generate job growth...
On the other side you maintain the current tax rate but spend money on social infrastructure that could make Canada a more appealing place to do business...
BOTH cost money and ultimately attempt to achieve the same goals.
Personally, I just don't buy the need for Corporate Tax cuts... but then I am just a lousy socialist...
