NDP are anti-business -

I think our tax system is incredibly biased in favour of businesses leaving a disproportionate amount of the tax burden on the working and middle class.

I know the justification is that businesses provide jobs and without providing an attractive environment for them they'd up and leave but having worked on the financial end of things in industry, I can say that 1-2% changes in tax rates have very little to do with important business decisions like whether or not to conduct business in a particular region.

If a business can outsource somehow, it will.  If it has to remain local, it will adapt.

Personally, I think the playing field needs to be evened out and businesses need to start sharing more of the tax burden. 

This doesn't make me anti-business, it makes me pro-middle class. 

Note, I'm not a payroll employee, but I do feel for them.  The current system really isn't fair to them. 

I think the NDP recognizes that and like me, that doesn't make them anti-business.  They just want a more fair tax system.
