… if a family goes out and buys a new Lamborghini and then cant afford to put food on the table, the issue is not the affordability of food but the sensibility of family priorities. What the family in this scenario cant afford is a brand new sports car, just as B.C. cant afford tax giveaways at the expense of essentials like education. This is especially true when the governments giveaways force greater austerity onto the public, result in fewer social investments for everyone, and weaken the overall strength of the economy by increasing poverty and reducing mobility, equality, and opportunity for all.
