Taxes have never been lower???  Talk about having no idea.  Between higher rates of tax on higher income brackets, reduction of tax credits, introduction of a myriad of environmental based levies and taxes, higher CPP premiums, higher user fees for regular government services and we are far from the low point.

Further, there is a world of difference between making the decision to spend your discretionary cash how you like and having the government take a larger share so they can make the decision how you should spend it.

Whether people can afford to make the decisions they are making is another matter.  That happens regardless of whether it is a $80K truck or $30K truck.
