Here is my 2 cents.

First, HST is a better taxation system compare to GST & PST.

Second, 10% HST is better than 12% GST & PST. The total amount we pay should be at the same level as the old GST & PST.

Third, we are upset with they way HST was introduced (and Campbell refused to reduce the tax rate when the tax base was enlarged) but not the HST system itself.

Forgot to mention, the author who wrote the letter is arguing in the style as what a lawyer would argue a case in court - "I only need to find the pitfalls in your statements and prove your case cannot stand but I do not need to prove my own case".

His presentation is entertaining, but it would be an ordinary (or poor) presentation if we expect it to argue from the standpoint of economic.
