Canadians are concerned about rising government deficits, with a majority believing that middle-class taxpayers will eventually have to foot the bill for all the public overspending, according to a new Postmedia-Leger poll. By comparison, 19 per cent of respondents said they were not concerned and 10 per cent said they didn’t know. (22 per cent) were the least likely to say the middle class will pay, with B.C. “While governments often say they are targeting any tax measures at the wealthy, somehow it always seems to be the more populous middle class that has to foot the bill,” he said. Sixty-five per cent of respondents supported the move, while 24 per cent opposed and 11 per cent didn’t know.
