Their words, not mine

For those wondering whether the right-wing focus on slashing taxes and the public service is even intended to result in economic benefits rather than simply being a matter of anti-government ideology, I'm not sure one could ask for a more decisive statement than Gerry Nicholls' latest commentary on the National Citizens Coalition:
Here's what (Paul Tuns) wrote about the NCC's response to the federal budget:
...
I'm just saying that the messaging from the NCC would have been clearer five or ten years ago; the NCC isn't supposed to be worried about job creation except as a talking point about lower taxes and less government.
Paul's comment reflects the weakness with the current NCC leadership. They have no clear understanding of true conservatism.
