HST offer is nothing more than a “carrot on a stick”

To the Editor:

After listening to the news reports today of the Liberal Government’s plan to “fix” the HST by lowering the rate I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone else felt the same as I do about the “offer”. I feel like someone is wanting to buy my vote with a “carrot on a stick” and it is only there if I vote to keep the HST. Rate reductions for a couple of years and then - wham - a raise? I guess I am just too skeptical when it comes to promises from politicians.
