Your friendly tax cuts

All this talk of tax cuts -- and a possible tax-cut election (ed. note: ew) -- come at a time when Canadians are starting to pulling their personal income-tax returns together. The Canada Revenue Agency, which as we know is strictly non-political -- just happens to have found a way to sell the idea that tax cuts are good for you. Quite the coincidence, eh?

Here's a link to the video, or if you prefer, the transcript is below:

Everybody is thinking it but nobody is saying it.
Who took the message to the person that wrote out this advert?

Was it Mr Harper? then who gave it to him?
was it the head guy in the PMO? then who gave it to him?

If an inquiry was launched you know some little guy near the bottom
would be forced to take the fall, but maybe not, and they would tell the
truth and we could find out who is really in control.
Me thinks it is BigOil ??
