For a whole lot of reasons that the government itself gave us, long before this tax plan.

However, that doesn't mean the Liberals are going down to defeat. Not with a very strong mandate in an election that brought out more voters than any in the past 25 years.  Just for a second, divert your attention away from all the foibles and follies of this government (I know, I know, it's tough to do, but bear with me.) 

Cast your eyes on the riveting, well-qualified, well-spoken, dynamic leaders of the other well-organized, compelling political parties in this country.  

Can't find those people?  Having trouble identifying those parties?  

Exactly.  

Liberals--sadly, tragically, even--are safe.
