We’ve reached the breaking point.

Government is the problem. Or more specifically, big government is a big problem.

The McGuinty Liberals have a spending problem. Sure revenues have fallen as the recession continues to bite hard on our economy, but it is spending which is out of control.

The government’s solution: increase taxes. This is a government that does not get high marks for policy development as they bounce from one created crisis to another, leaving a trail of nanny state legislation in their wake. Yet it appears they’ve spent their creative ability on how to take more and more of your money without you noticing the theft. They have increased user fees, hiked utilities, slapped on surtaxes, driven up consumption taxes and introduced hidden fees. All of a sudden people are seeing far less disposable income and they wonder where it’s all going.

Well, Dalton is at the other end of the siphon. While he can take your money he can’t bring himself to wean Ontarians off government handouts.

Well that inability and the recent triple whammy of HST, ecotax and higher hydro bills is where the good ship Ontario runs aground.

We can’t take it anymore. The hidden, unannounced little ecotax is the final straw. The party is over.

All that is left now is to clean up the mess. Problem is the McGuinty Liberals will continue to party on the broken down remains of Ontario’s economy while ignoring the mess for another year.
