Blindingly obvious document

How can I not link to a story that contains that nugget?

A Liberal government on day-to-day life support rolled out six years worth of largesse Monday, hoping $29 billion in promised tax cuts will help Canadian voters forget the sponsorship scandal.
Prime Minister Paul Martin turned his government's fall economic statement into a full-blown mini-budget and Liberal campaign parachute. It is a blindingly obvious document.

...A two-income family of four earning $60,000 would pay $499 less in taxes in 2006 if the Liberal plan is implemented.

I assume that a single-income family of four gets less...we just love punishing those who don't tow the old-school feminist party line.

..."I don't think Mr. Goodale could stand up and announce these kinds of surpluses without saying to Canadians, some of that's coming back into your pocket," said Hughes Anthony.
"For the average Canadian, they look at surpluses as over-taxation."

Duh.
