They did raise your personal taxes though. From the article:
“Replacing sales tax on services such as golf in the final budget is a different mix of revenues, such as a surtax on personal income and an increase in vehicle licensing fees. It’s uncertain if the commission will recommend an expansion of the sales tax to golf, said H.D. Palmer, a Department of Finance spokesman.
Bouchier is aware that once something that hasn’t been taxed before is introduced, it doesn’t go away. Golf appeared to be singled out among participatory sports in the initial attempt.”When there are revenue pressures, there’s no end to people’s imagination,” Bouchier said. “The first version was not well thought through. We don’t know what form it will take and how it will be presented the next time around.”
Great. Golf’s answer to P.E.T.A. (People Everyone Thinks are A-Holes), are attacking us under all the old talking points from the 80s long debunked . Now we’re all Judge Smails and the economic crisis will be solved by killing golf because all golfers are vermin. Go vegan! Not.
