HST will mean a decrease in pay
| Letters - Letters - General |
Editor,
This letter will be short and to the point. For most people working in the service sector the HST will mean a decrease in pay. Let me explain my argument.
If you are a waitress in a restaurant and rely on tips, expect your tips to go down. The reason being, if the bill increases from $10 to $10.50 you've just lost 50 cents of what would have otherwise been included as a tip. Multiply that by your average number of customers per day and then multiply by the number of days you work in a year. The amount adds up. This applies to almost everyone working in the service sector; cab drivers, hair dressers etc etc. I find it hard to believe that a goverment supposedly working in our interest would first cut corporate taxes by billions and then ask those with a small income already, to take a pay cut in order to make up for a shortfall that they (the Liberal government) created in the first place.
Donna Barnett should be ashamed of being a part of this shell game.
